Really enjoyed this cooking class, it was really fun, educational, and of course, delicious. Wendy and Nicki did a fantastic job running it all, thanks so much.

— Nick

Wonderful night of hands on cooking under the guidance of a very experienced teacher. Even better than all the tips you get is eating what you have made! I didn’t realise cooking duck was so easy or the amazing variety of luv-a-duck products you could buy. Fantastic experience

— Kerri

My son, my sister and I went to the Christmas duck class last Saturday and we had a fabulous time. Wendy is an excellent teacher and the meals were quick and easy to prepare. Sitting down to enjoy what we all cooked with a glass of wine was a great way to end a memorable day.
My sister and I have been to a previous class and we will all be back again. Love the duck!!

— Carol

A wonderful class filled with recipes, techniques, tips and flavours. Wendy instructs and inspires confidence whilst Mark efficiently supplies and supports. I’m keen to do more classes and duck will be on my table this Christmas. Thanks to the enthusiastic classmates who created a banquet of duck dishes to share. A delicious and delightful evening.

The large Luv A Duck headquarters is close to light rail, buses and parking is at their venue. The group cooking class was inside an attractive and modern setting. There were tips about preparing, cooking and shopping for duck. Easy to follow take home recipe sheets. Lots of colour, flavours and fragrants from diverse ingredients such as cherries, quince, apricots and plums combined into a variety of duck recipes provided the group with a delicious sit down Christmas feast and drinks. Good value!

— Jenny

A fun interesting and delicious cooking class. Wendy our instructor gave easy to follow instructions. It totally demistified the preparation and Cooking of duck. We loved it.

— Dianne

Fantastic session with competent and most knowledgable presenter. Learnt how to use duck in a vast range of recipes and was wonderful to have the opportunity for “hands on ” experience. Feasting on all dishes in a most pleasant environment and sharing our ideas was certainly a wonderful culmination activity and a highlight of such an excellent workshop. Impressed on how wheel organised session was. Thanks, will certainly recommend to other.

We had a really happy group of eager duck cooks. The recipes were easy (the best thing about Luv-a-Duck) and Wendy our instructor was great. Have now selected my Christmas dinner menu.

— Sally

This is my 2nd hands on class with Wendy and I enjoyed it just as much as the first!

My girlfriends and I had a blast – learnt lots along the way and also had a good laugh – lots of fun!

Christmas is going to be duckalicious! Highly recommended

— Philippa

Awesome class, we got to cook 2-3 dishes per team and we had 4 teams so we had quite a feast at the end! Wendy and Mark were fantastic and kept the bubbles flowing too. Thank you for a great experience!

— Ngei

Would recommend this class to everybody! Fun, delicious and insightful tricks about all things duck. Thank you for a great time!

— Rebekah

I thoroughly enjoyed the hands on duck cooking course. Wendy was a very knowledgeable teacher. I left the course feeling confident that I could now cook duck. The only problem with this course was that we had so much food to eat after the cooking was done that I couldn’t do the food justice. May be a small doggy bag might have helped me to enjoy the food the next day.

— Christine

What an enjoyable morning. This class is organised, friendly and delicious.

— Ben

We're a ducking good time

We’ve got hands-on classes, talented chefs, and a whole lot of fun!
