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

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

— Merna

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

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

My Luv A Duck experience was fabulous. The instructor was great. The recipes were easy to follow and delicious. I learned so much about the preparation of the duck and the products. I would recommend this class to anyone.

— Julie

We learnt the right way to cook several French duck dishes. It was excellent. Wendy is a star.

— Peter

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

A very enjoyable and informative class with Wendy

— Tina

A great class that I would highly recommend. Wendy & Mark were great facilitators and ensured everyone had a great time. I’m a confident cook and picked up some new tricks.

— Elaura

Excellent Session – Wendy is a great teacher – so positive and encouraging – makes you feel you’re doing a marvellous job! Such good value with all the dishes tackled (and devoured!). I will certainly go again.

— Myra

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.

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

— Sam

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

— Virgina

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

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

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!
