Reviews

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

Fingerfood workshop sounded promising and the food that was prepared was interesting and delicious. Unfortunately there was a delayed start to the class due to an administrative error in the arrival times, which made the whole workshop / cooking appear rushed and left a negative vibe until the end of what should have been a relaxed conclusion of our lunch. That was disappointing indeed!Still Luv a duck is a wonderful product and I will happily continue cooking it!

— Marion

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

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!

I did a Google review. Please refer to that.

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

Excellent hands of class again. I have done others classes in the past and they all were very enjoyable and good learning experience. As I was able to watch and learn hands on, it makes it easier to do those recipes at home. Finger food class was great learning experience and I already know, which recipes I will use to and to entertained friend, who has been enjoying my duck dinner parties.

Had a great time in the finger food course and would recommend it as a great starting point. If you were trying duck for the first time or wanting to cook it yourself it’s a great experience and we’ll do it again.

— Terry

Highly Recommend! It was great fun learning and eating. Well organised and generous amount of recipes to prepare. Just wished we could of taken some home.

— Kerrilyne

This was the 2nd class we have done and they have both been really enjoyable and delicious! It’s a fun way to spend an evening, picking up a few tips and getting to enjoy some great dishes.

— Julia

Great class with excellent tips from Wendy. Well set out kitchen. No pressure, plenty of food and lots to learn.
Thoroughly recommended.

— Paul

Tonight we had a great time learning about duck. Karol was terrific, her knowledge of Luv-a-duck and cooking was fabulous. I loved all the various dishes we made and the hands on experience of this class (her roast duck was exquisite) and all the recipes we made and tasted were spot on. I keep dreaming of the sliders and those mouth watering Thai duck cakes. I cant wait to come back and do another class, next time I am going to bring some friends, its a truly wonderful experience.

— Kellie

This is the third class I’ve had the privilege of attending. Wendy is brilliant… Even after 12 years, her passion continues to shine through as she helps each and everyone cook their delightful duck recipes. There are many cooking classes in Melbourne but not as organised and enjoyable as this one. Thanks for another great day guys! Love your work 🙂

— Hayley

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

A very enjoyable fun class where we felt comfortable and welcome .
A huge range of duck finger foods were created , taste tested and discussed.
The recipes with instruction suit all abilities and use ingredients readily accessible in most home kitchens.
Once demonstrated these recipes are easy and fun to make at home – our children were impressed with our recreations!!
Great gift for all ages .

— Janete

Thanks to Carol and Liz for a fun night with yummy food. I learnt so much and found it very enjoyable.

— Jill

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

There was so much to learn on the evening. I think the best was being taught how to roast a duck correctly for the best crisp skin. The whole evening was better than we expected, Wendy is a great ambassador for Luv a Duck she is so happy to help and share her knowledge. Everyone got on well and the banquet at the end of the class was 10 out of 10. I will certainly being some more classes.

— Sandra

Great class learnt so much . Perhaps should be advertised as a longer class?

— Jean

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

Great class with personal interaction from the tutor chefs. The duck cakes and chocolate tart was a treat.

— Shardul

This was my second cooking class at Luv A Duck and both were wonderful. Wendy and Joan made us feel very welcome and guided us through the day with ease and great courtesy. Loved the food and will make some of the receipes very soon. Thank you.
