A really wonderful night! Wendy is a fabulous teacher. It was fun learning about all the different ways to cook duck. Definitely come hungry because you eat A LOT!

— Jaeger

What a fabulous day. Such a professional experience, but such fun, especially if you attend in a pair with a best buddy. Wendy’s tips and demonstrations leave nothing to the imagination or chance and Rhonda is the most amazing fairy godmother in the kitchen. Our cooking group was wonderful and the feast at the end was absolutely delicious. No shopping, no dishes, just the fun part in between. Many thanks Wendy and Rhonda. Warm wishes, Sharon and Virginia

Thanks for a very informative and fun day.
Thoroughly enjoyable and Wendy is the perfect person to lead the group through the whole process. Especially with 11 people all trying to do different things. And thanks to the assistants a who were like the invisible fairies cleaning up around us !!
Hats off to you all !

This was a fun class, with lots of knowledge and skills learned along the way. We sampled many dishes and they were all delicious. It’s so much easier to cook duck than I thought!

— Joanne

Enjoyable small group class where you learn delicious duck recipes that don’t seem daunting to cook at home! Wendy the teacher was excellent.

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

Highly recommend for any French food fans !

Had a fantastic day. The class was just the right size, well organized and ran really smoothly. Had fun meeting new people we all got on and worked well together. Would highly recommend anyone to attend one of these classes. I will definitely be doing another one.

THIS CLASS WAS FANTASTIC – IT WAS RELAXED AND WE HAD SO MUCH FUN. WE LEARNT SO MUCH AS THE TEACHERS WERE SO CARING AND KNOWLEDGABLE. THE FACILITIES WERE EXCELLENT AND THE COURSE IS GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY AS WE HAD A WONDERFUL DINNER WITH WINE AND SHARED WHAT WE COOKED – HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AND AN EXCELLENT GIFT.

— Greg

The team at Luv a Duck were professional and fun. I learnt lots, ate a heap of great food and feel more confident to cook a food at home that I would normally have left to the experts.

— Melanie

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

Absolutely loved the experience. Wendy and Gail were amazing hosts and there was a great selection of recipes for everyone to work on. I bought this for my Duck loving partner and he had a fantastic day!

— Cameron

Very enjoyable day. Our chef Wendy was very helpful and knowledgeable, and I now feel confident to make some sensational recipes. Overall it was a great experience and I look forward to attending more classes in future.

— Monica

Thoroughly enjoyed the cooking – it’s just so easy to cook beautiful food when you are shown how 🙂
thanks ladies.

— Linda

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.

— Simon

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

Nice exprienced and the food was superb. Congratulations to all the staff. Nice and clean ambiance. Well done :}
