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

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

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

This was a most enjoyable class with Wendy starting from the very basic on how to dissect a roasted duck successfully, to moving on to a varied number of recipes from entree to main courses. Group participation was a good way of being taught how to prepare a recipe. Her assistant was instrumental in making sure that the kitchen remained at all times tidy ad there was everything provided for us to ensure that it was a very enjoyable and successful time spent. A good investment.

— Deidrie

The virtual cooking class was a pleasant experience which you can do at the comfort of your own kitchen, recipes were easy to follow, and the dishes turn out very professional presented and flavours are amazing. Wendy is very good at explaining each recipe and how we can nail it, I enjoyed it very much. Will definitely try other cooking class too when it become available.

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

Great experience and learning – highly recommend

— Simon

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

— Graham

It was fun and good experience overall. Also the introduction of the luvaduck’s was very skillful.

— Andrew

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

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

— Colleen

A lot of fun, delicious food!!!

— Liz

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.

— Athena

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

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 !

Our instructor was very knowledgeable and easy to understand. We made some delicious food and learnt many different ways to prepare duck. Will be looking at going back for a different themed duck class in the future.

— Lauren

Highly recommended . Lots of enjoyment . The recipe was easy to follow. Wendy was a superstar explaining the process in simple steps and gave us time to catch up if we were running a tad slow . She was also explaining some simple tricks to assistance for preparing in advance if you are time poor when preparing a dinner party etc . Thank you for a fun night .

— Kim

We're a ducking good time

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