Fantastic educational morning

What a wonderful concept. Learning to cook delicious duck dishes from the comfort of my own kitchen. Booking online was easy, emails leading up to the class were timely and informative, the delivery of the duck and ingredients went smoothly, the preparation instructions were easy to follow and the class was fun and interactive. I delighted my family with the amazing duck meal I prepared.

My husband and I participated in the french inspired duck on Saturday and we loved it. We were in a class of 10 with each pair making 2 different dishes. We went through basics like roasting and cutting a duck to making confit duck. Then it came to sitting down for lunch and eating our 10 dishes with wine. OMG we ate well. Wendy was very patient and knowledeable and Gail did all our dishes. It was an amazing afternoon. We will be back!

Spent last evening at French duck cooking class (as in French cooking, they weren’t French ducks!). The evening was well organized with good communication before hand of what to wear, where to come, time etc. There were 10 of us there split into groups of 2 and cooking 2 courses each. Hats off to our chef and guide Wendy who did a fantastic job ensuring we all managed to produce some really tasty French food. There are apparently 6 other courses available and quite confident we will be back for another one.

Great experience and learning – highly recommend

— Simon

The teacher demonstrated each of the dishes clearly and helped everyone. It was a friendly atmosphere in the professionally equipped kitchen. The dishes prepared were varied and we shared them at the dining table after preparation. I really enjoyed my morning and feel confident of being able to replicate the dishes at home.

— Helen

The lesson was excellent – very informative, very professional, very well organised and very enjoyable. Wendy is a great communicator and patient, with a good sense of humour. I would highly recommend this experience.

— Peter

Wendy gave us an excellent introduction to jointing and carving duck before we split into twos to work on 2 recipes per pair. The morning split into two – a late morning break to try the parfait and soup entrees, and lunch after we’d finished cooking all the other recipes. None of them were overly complicated and it was great to try everything at lunch. There was an opportunity, of course, to buy duck produce at the end of the class. Recommendation – if you go, don’t have a heavy breakfast. You need room for all that duck!

— Annie

My daughter and I both really enjoyed the duck cooking class. I thought that Wendy was an amazing teacher, very calm and clear with her instructions. It was a pleasure to sit and enjoy our cooking with Wendy and the other participants. I have always been a bit unsure about cooking duck but now I feel confident doing it.
I certainly want to do another class, maybe even getting a group of friends together fo the class.

— Michelle

What a fun class. Our instructor, Wendy, gives very clear instructions on each aspect of cooking with duck, from dissecting the raw duck to the method of cooking each fabulous French dish. Amazing the many different flavours that I now know I can add to my list. Wendy never misses a beat.

— Margaret

The class was very enjoyable, Wendy was great, explained everything perfectly & helped everybody when they needed it, Rhonda was also a huge help in the kitchen. The food was amazing & the overall experience was excellent! I highly recommend this class to others.

— Sharon

This was possibly one of the best evenings we have had. 3.5 hours of learning everything about how to cook duck the French way and everything else! It seems very daunting but Wendy just made it a breeze. Such a well organised class and we had heaps of fun! So so much food so make sure you have an appetite when you go over. I can’t wait to try the Asian style duck class next. And such absolute value for money!

— Reetu

This was my first class here and I will definitely consider other classes here and recommend to my friends. Excellent preparation and clear guidance from the warm and friendly teaching lead, I learnt a lot of new and easy French duck dishes. A warm welcome and wonderful experience. Great for food lovers and a good gift idea. Thanks!

Really enjoyed the lesson. I finally feel that I can cook duck breast perfectly (and impress my friends). The recipes we made were straightforward, and the finished dishes were so delicious and impressive. I will definitely be making them again. Thank you for the great recipes and duck cooking tips!

— Nick

Highly recommended . Lots of enjoyment . The recipe was easy to follow. Wendy was a superstar explaining the process in simple steps and gave us time to catch up if we were running a tad slow . She was also explaining some simple tricks to assistance for preparing in advance if you are time poor when preparing a dinner party etc . Thank you for a fun night .

— Kim
