This was a fantastic experience! It was a really hands on class led by a friendly and knowledgeable cook. Highly recommend!

— Ally

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

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

— Jill

The instructors had great knowledge but the class was very rushed and all over the place. It felt like we were being pushed to leave. At this stage would not recommend going

— Maree

We luved it. Had a fun night and learnt some things about duck. Wendy was fantastic and we would definitely do another.

— Diane

We had such a fun time on the duck canapés class. Each couple made two different canapés to share with the group over a glass of wine and everything was well organised. A perfect introduction to cooking duck at home for those who love duck but are not sure where to begin with cooking it. Definitely looking at attending future cooking classes.

— Shane

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

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

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

Learnt how to portion the duck and also how to roast a perfect duck. Loved making the quesadillas and how easy they were to make. Also seeing all the other dishes and getting hints along the way. It was lovely to sit around the table and to be able to taste all the dishes and have a sip of wine. Would recommend the class

— Jane

excellent class,with wide variety of dishes to try
value for money, andteaching staff knowledgable and very patient,
would recommend the class to friends and anyone who wishes to
experience the various new ways of cooking duck

— Margaret

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

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

— Jean

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

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.

— Jo

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

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

A memorable experience with great guidance and support. The culinary outcomes were delicious!

— Darryl

Wendy and Rhonda make the experience easy and the food is delicious and so much of it! It was my second course at Luv-a-Duck and it won’t be my last.

— Melanie

Duck Finger Food Class was a fun night. The host, Karol and Joanne were very organised and we were made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived. At the end of the night, the whole class set down together and got to enjoy our hard work, yummy! We will book another class and be back again.

— Michelle

Fantastic night. Enjoyed learning more ways to cooking duck. Excellent friendly teacher and enjoyed eating all our new duck creations. A great night!
