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.

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

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!

Absolutely loved this class – Wendy our teacher was very patient and very knowledgeable in all things duck. I definitely recommend doing one – and I can’t wait to do another one!!

— Livia

A great mix of people, all of them “Foodies”. 3 guys and the rest women a total of eight, we then split into 4 teams to cook 2 dishes each. Outcome was YUM, YUM, YUM!!! Would definitely recommend this as a great gift or experience. Very well run & organized, thanks to Wendy (LE chef) & Rhonda.
Definitely a Five Star Experience.

— Peter

What a fun, well organised and informative few hours this turned out to be. So much is covered in such a short time in an authoritative yet extremely friendly manner. Everything is set up before arrival to ensure available time is optimised and timings of dishes work out well to allow a break for Entree and then a return to sample a table of everyone’s food at the end. Highly recommend this for ‘foodies’, duck aficionado’s or anyone who wishes to learn something new.

— Lorraine

Great experience and learning – highly recommend

— Simon

The recipes were simple and delicious. Both Wendy and Peta were charming, knowledgeable and friendly. Loved having all those different dishes with our fellow participants, all in all a lovely, genteel way to spend a Saturday morning.

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

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.

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

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!

— Peter

Loved the course, Wendy was extremely patient and friendly.
Came for the food, stayed for the ambience!

— Colleen

What a great night of cooking duck with a French influence.

Wendy and Gail were great teachers and hosts who made us all feel very comfortable and confident with the cooking instructions

We all sat around the table eating our meals while discussing the menu of all the delicious meals .

We will definitely return for another cooking session
