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!

Excellent venue and instruction. Always a good experience with excellent food and lots of easy recipes to learn and enjoy.

— Graham

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

My 3rd visit, another fantastic class. Everytime I go even though we always cover the basics first, I always learn more about how to prepare a duck. Wendy has enviable knife and cooking skills.

— Marc

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

I went by myself and still had a heap of fun! Lots to cook and you can watch everyone else with the different recipes! All were yummy and had great instruction from Wendy and Cal! THANK YOU!!

— Julia

Do it…. Seriously, take the class. Wendy was a great teacher, I was left without a partner and that didn’t matter in the slightest. The food tasted incredible and the recipes are so simple… do yourself a big favour and take the class!

— Matthew

Excellent Session – Wendy is a great teacher – so positive and encouraging – makes you feel you’re doing a marvellous job! Such good value with all the dishes tackled (and devoured!). I will certainly go again.

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.

— Mal

Very well organised event with many more duck courses than I ever imagined. There were over 8 dishes. All delicious and all cooked by the class mates.
Very knowledgeable chef and extremely helpful aide.
I would recommend this to anyone who loves ducks.

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

Wonderful experience, we both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Everything was well planned out and prepared. Wendy explained everything and was extremely helpful. I would recommend it to everyone and it is great value for money.

— Kathryn

My Luv A Duck experience was fabulous. The instructor was great. The recipes were easy to follow and delicious. I learned so much about the preparation of the duck and the products. I would recommend this class to anyone.

— Julie

My friend and I engaged in this 3.5 hr hands on course recently.

It was conducted by Wendy,and ably assisted by Adam.

This is my 2nd LuvaDuck course,and it was superb

The demystifying of duck is impeccably presented,and the standard and quality of the training process merits accolades.
I have high praise for the conduct of this course,and certainly have recommended it to my friends and colleagues

A fun and interesting night out with family. Thank you to the amazing staff who were an absolute delight to have teaching us. Wendy is a credit to your business!
Would highly recommend to anyone for any occasion – cooking is not my forte, but your teaching quality was calm, encouraging and 10/10.

Thanks for a lovely evening x
