Great night and excellent way to understand the many ways to prepare and cook duck. Excellent value and a good experience.

— Murray

My daughter and I had a great time at the French Inspired lesson. Karol had a huge amount of information and tips to share and the hands-on approach worked well with the relatively small group. Because we actually worked with the recipes provided, tasted our results and were able to view and taste others’ results, we learned a great deal that day. The resulting feast at the end was awesome. Thanks Karol and Liz and the Luv-A-Duck team. We’ll definitely take part in another course.

— Helen

the class was a wonderful experience..great fun working in a commercial kitchen with a group of cooks. The recipes are ‘simple when you know how’ and I’ve practised them all since the class. I’d love to come back for the Christmas cook

Great experience and fabulous teacher! Learned a lot about duck and it’s delicacies.

— Merna

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.

This was a fun and educational class. From the coffee on arrival to the buffet at the end, it is non-stop learning. I don’t know what other classes are like, but learning how to section a duck and cooking in a commercial kitchen were my highlights.

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

Fantastic educational morning

— Joan

The French Inspired Duck class was very informative. The hands on cooking really helps you learn the techniques. There was some much food available to sample that I could try everything on offer.

— Pamela

Very impressed. The class was highly informative, clearly communicated, well structured so every dish was finished at the appropriate time, and the recipes were absolutely delicious. Thank you Wendy and Luv-A-Duck!

— Richard

Incredible class, very well run with a range of dishes which were all amazing to taste. Particularly the confit duck. Would recommend to anyone considering learning how to cook with duck

— Michelle

Thank-you

— Chris

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

What a pleasant way to spend an evening and gain new skills. The food was divine, the teachers calm and helpful. Couldn’t believe a bunch of novice cooks could produce such a feast. 7 dishes with apologies because we had such a small group we couldn’t do more! Can’t wait to do another.

— Carole

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!

— anna

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

We're a ducking good time

We’ve got hands-on classes, talented chefs, and a whole lot of fun!
