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 very enjoyable class. very practical with a fabulous lunch afterwards plus 10% off in the shop. What more could anyone want?!

— Teresa

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

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.

— Christine

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.

— Michelle

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

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

I learnt how to debone a duck and how easy it is to cook it in different ways, depending on the part. I also learnt a lot about the duck itself. Very enjoyable morning listening, cooking and eating duck. Feel confident to do at home now.

— Karen

This cooking class is really good, best way to end the year. Wendy did a good job in teaching us skills and show us how easy to prepare a whole duck (cooked and raw). I have more confident to cook whole duck from now on.

— Melody

What a fantastic class. Very enjoyable. A+++

— Melinda

Fantastic recipes, easy to follow. Delicious and duckalicious. Wendy is a wonderful demonstrator and teacher, with the help of Joanne. Well stocked kitchen, diverse recipes. I would recommend this to anyone who is nervous about cooking duck, as I WAS.

— Sheryl

We attended a weeknight Christmas Duck course, and thoroughly loved it. I am a complete novice with duck, but this course catered really well to people with different duck carving abilities. The ladies who ran the course were really encouraging and unlike some other cooking or decorating courses I have done, I didn’t feel rushed or like I was falling behind due to the help from the chefs. Would thoroughly recommend this course to everyone else!

— Katharine

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

This class was absolutely wonderful! We learned how to break down a duck (more practice is needed, but now we know what to do) and so many different recipes to try at home. The hands on element is terrific, and it is so exciting to see your results being enjoyed by other participants. The teacher is incredibly knowledgeable and encouraging and supports everyone in the class. The 10% off produce at the end of the class is just such a bonus.

— Margaret

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

The experience of taking your Luv a Duck cooking class was a win win in every way. Loved the teacher who was friendly, organised and very efficent in her delivery of information. Class size was good, not too large – and working in pairs was an excellent way to work quickly through the recipe. I have recommended this class to my friends.

— Anne
