Reviews

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.

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

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.

The teacher demonstrated each of the dishes clearly and helped everyone. It was a friendly atmosphere in the professionally equipped kitchen. The dishes prepared were varied and we shared them at the dining table after preparation. I really enjoyed my morning and feel confident of being able to replicate the dishes at home.

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

Absolutely the best cooking course around. Wendy explained everything there is to know about ducks and cooking them. Totally possible to cook all these dishes at home, and we have already done three in the week. Great product and a course well worth doing.
