I had the absolute pleasure of attending the Luv-a-Duck Japanese Cooking School and can confidently say it was one of the best cooking classes I’ve ever done. The highlight was without a doubt Nick, our instructor – knowledgeable, passionate, and a brilliant teacher.
Nick guided us through every step of cooking duck to perfection, demystifying what can seem like a tricky protein. I walked away feeling confident and inspired, having learned everything you need to know to prepare beautiful, restaurant-quality duck at home. From knife work to flavour balance to perfect doneness – it was all covered in a friendly, hands-on environment.
If you’re even remotely curious about cooking duck or love Japanese flavours, this course is a must. Thank you to Nick and the team – I’ll be back for more!

Wendy and Lachy were great hosts for our Asian inspired duck evening. We had a wonderful evening of cooking and trying out a variety of duck dishes. Informative and delicious. Would definitely recommend it to all...don't eat lunch that day, as dinner will fill you up !!
Fantastic experience. Diversity of recipes all Japanese influenced. Fun class and Nick was entertaining and his experience and knowledge was evident. Keen to do more classes.
Last night I hosted a cooking class with my friends & family. It was such a great night! Great bonding time, fun recipes, the staff were lovely, encouraging & very patient. The food was top notch! Restaurant quality! After cooking our meals, we sat down & enjoyed them with some cocktails.
I would most definitely do this again & everyone has been raving today about how much fun they had. Thanks team!

Incredible night with friends & family felt like our very own Master Chef! The cocktails & canapes night was the best night iv had in a long time! Creating delicious recipes, so much flavour & so much fun! Even my lil 6yo Master Chef made his own little dish! Highly recommend, great service & put together so well! We will be back!
What a great time we all had at Luv-a-Duc learning different ways to cook duck and in some cases a great introduction to it. The team thoroughly enjoyed cooking together and making it a night to remember.
Junior girls football (soccer) club event with an Iron Chef-style not-so-secret ingredient!! Succulent duck in all its glory. Eight dishes!! Thanks to Graham and the team for putting on a great evening.
We were amazed at how many ways that duck could be cooked & presented in a delicious way. Certainly recommend it.
A group cooking session with teenage girls may sound chaotic but what an excellent bonding experience! Soccer players turned mini chefs. With fresh ingredients at hand, they got to explore different duck cuisines, use their communication and chopping skills, and share the end result amongst themselves. A surprising evening that ended with happy girls and parents all round. Thank you Luv-a-Duck!
It was a privilege to have our Essendon Royals U17's partake in the cooking class this week. What an experience watching them cook and then taste the food they made. Credit to Luv-a-Duck for providing this opportunity to them and for the wonderful support they provide to the club. They are big advocates of women's football, and for that, we're grateful to have their support. Not to mention, we also get to try their brilliant product at the club. Thank you, Luv-a-Duck, for all that you do. 👏
We recently held our Social Club event at Luv-a-Duck, and it was an outstanding experience from start to finish! The hands-on cooking class was fun, interactive, and a fantastic way to bring our team together. The chefs were friendly and fun, guiding us through the preparation and plating of our canapés. If you’re looking for a fun and unique team-building activity, we highly recommend Luv-a-Duck.
What a fabulous cooking experience! Chef Nick made it all so easy and there was so much food to enjoy and take home. Such amazing value for money and loads of fun. Highly recommended the Dux Kitchen.
A birthday treat from my niece. Nick, the chef, was generous with his knowledge and pitched in with cooking duck dumplings , noodles, curry, salad, and roast. We learned heaps and finished up with a banquet to share. We took the left-overs home. 10% off the hugs range of duck products too. Loved it!
Did the French inspired cooking class. We had a fantastic time, the food was great.
Did the 'Demystifying Duck' cooking class and it was AMAZING - one of the best cooking classes I've ever done. It was hands-on, the tastings and food were generous, and the chef Nicholas was so excellent. He was approachable and engaging, and dropped a lot of tidbits to take our cooking to another level.
There were just four of us in the class, but this worked really well as we each got plenty of specialised attention and each owned a recipe from start to finish.
A bonus was the wholesale section out the front where you could buy all the products for a discounted price - loved it!
Another bonus was the whole roast duck that Nicholas popped into the oven ahead of our arrival to showcase how easy it is to cook, and how well it turns out with no salt at all. We got to nibble on this during the class and was a lovely surprise. Consider duck well and truly demystified.
Will definitely be looking at booking another one of their classes in future.

Absolutely fantastic experience, great atmosphere and superb staff. Learned a lot and most definitely will go to do another class.
