The trainers Wendy and Nicki were incredible. Very friendly and knowledgeable, and the food that was provided was incredible.
Left rolling out the building and will most definitely be doing more of these classes!

— Claire

Great class and super passionate presenter. I normally obsess over making everything from scratch and I loved that this class gave me some great cheats to whip some really tasty bites quickly. It was also a great introduction to the wider range of Luv-a-Duck that I wasn’t aware of.

— Sarah

My second (and not my last) class here with Wendy instructing. A very well designed and clean kitchen. Very well organised and great support from the team. You learn so much else other than the large number of recipes. Really excellent value.

— Iain

Excellent cooking class. So much food! Absolutely delicious. Great help.
I’m going again definitely.

— Genevieve

Our finger food class with Luv-a-Duk absolutely smashed my expectations, I cannot recommend it enough! Undoubtably a 10/10 experience. The chef, Karol was bursting with excitement and enthusiasm and Liz was so welcoming and supportive during cooking. We had so much fun and left with a very full stomach! Absolutely brilliant value for money, thank you ladies, we thoroughly enjoyed our time with you!

— Matthew

My two friends and I had a great time at our cooking class. We learnt to cook some great finger food and also picked up a lot of good tips for cooking duck. The food was excellent, the kitchen set up really good and we had a ball. We’ll definitely be back for more.

— Anne

Thanks for a fantastic cooking class. We learnt really useful skills and some excellent recipes.

— Bridet

Learnt a lot, ate a lot and had lots of fun

— Heather

The finger food class was very informative and a great learning experience. The staff were very supportive and willing to assist. I was very surprised in the amount of recipes we completed in the
three and half hours and by the way the food was very tasty.

— David

A fantastic cooking class. I learnt, with confidence, how to prepare a good selection of duck finger food. Well organised with supportive staff. Well done!

— Helen

HAD A FANTASTIC CULINARY JOURNEY UTILISING DUCK IN SO MANY WAYS – THERE WAS SO MUCH FOOD TO INDULGE IN AT THE END OF EACH COOKING SESSION, I CAME AWAY FULLY SATISFIED WITH THE QUALITY &QUANTITY OF FOOD PREPARED ON THE DAY. THANK YOU TO WENDY OUR HEAD CHEF FOR HER SUPPORT THROUGHOUT OUR COOKING SESSIONS & TO GAIL WHO KEPT US TOPPED UP WITH OUR DRINKS THROUGHOUT THE MORNING & KEPT THE KITCHEN IN FULL SUPPLY OF CLEAN DISHES. THANK YOU BOTH FOR AN ENJOYABLE MORNING. REGARDS ROSLYN C

— Roslyn

We had a fabulous,informative and extremely entertaining night. It was very educational and we learnt so much in such a short time. So well structured with five teams of two working along side each other. Our teacher,Wendy and her assistant Ali,we’re so helpful and over the course of 3 hours wehad all created an entrée and main then sat and shared the banquet with some fine wine and good company sharing our experience and discussing the dishes we’d created. Certainly value for money and a lovely venue. Thanks so much!

— Lyn

Had been to a demonstration class before – this time was a hands on one. Loved learning how to cook some duck finger food with a glass or two of pinot noir to wash it down. Wendy is a terrific demonstrator and we learnt heaps. We had a living social voucher so made it very good value. Overall a very pleasant experience. Thoroughly recommend.

— Judy

Great experience. Learnt a lot about cooking duck and preparing. lots of different finger food items which were all delicious

— winnie

Excellent experience and we learned some incredible and yet easy dishes. Got to try every dish and were absolutely full afterwards.
The two ladies karol and nikki were so knowledgeable but also so good at creating a friendly learning environment that helped the whole group gel within minutes!

— Anthony

Loved the finger food class. This is my second class and I’m continued to be amazed how versatile duck is. Knowledgeable and friendly instructors. Looking forward to a third class sometime soo

— Kerrianne

The food was delicious and plentiful. My only gripe was that the instructor explained the entire menu before we got into the kitchen, and again afterwards before we started cooking – there was a lot of wasted time! Also the level of assumed general cooking knowledge is low, so be prepared for that if you’re already comfortable in the kitchen.

— Susie

How to roast a duck and have crackly skin

— Julia

Great hands-on class with lots of tips and inspiration for cooking with duck. The kitchen is very well equipped and the instructor was friendly and knowledgeable. Recommend.

— Joyce

Highly enjoyable class, great teachers, super tasty recipes, abundant food and great insight into a proud and successful company. Anyone who loves duck will have fun at these classes. My regret is not clearing my fridge before the class so I could take full advantage of the 10% discount in the shop after the class.

— Jill

This class was my third experience in working with duck,at the LuvaDuck kitchen.

It is a 2.5 hr journey with hands on experience,and is conducted in an exemplary way.
The staff are very attentive,knowledgeable and highly competent—especially Wendy who conducts the class. This class is very recommendable not only to those who desire to work with duck,but offers very good general cooking techniques.

I would highly recommend this and other LuvaDuck courses. Zyg Kaminski
