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!

Very much enjoyed the lesson, the cooking and the eating!! Our instructors were excellent , helping us cheerfully along the way and overall very impressive. Hope to return one day for another lesson.

— Val

Great class for amateurs and professionals alike! Wendy is passionate and very knowledgeable and Mark was super helpful around the kitchen. Thoroughly enjoyed the session and meal after!

— Frances

Absolutely the best cooking course around. Wendy explained everything there is to know about ducks and cooking them. Totally possible to cook all these dishes at home, and we have already done three in the week. Great product and a course well worth doing.

— Judy

A very enjoyable and informative class with Wendy

— Tina

Loved how we were taught how to break down a duck and it wasn’t just provided in its pieces.
They also taught us little tips and tricks about HOW to cut the pieces out and different seasonings that would work really well with the different cuts.

— Susan

Wonderful class with so much value! They packed so much in and you get lots of hands on experience and have lots of fun.
Highly recommend for any French food fans !

— Claire

Loved the format and kitchen layout but found the bench space /stove restricted with everyone cooking. Room was incredibly hot and uncomfortable. Breakdown of a duck informative. Confy, casserole and parfait excellent and really simple compared to many recipes we have seen. Use of duck sausage rather then pork was interesting as duck and fennel sausage had excellent flavour. Will add to our shopping list. Various duck breast dishes ok but way too much food. Had a good night and enjoyed the experience.

— Patricia

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.
