A most enjoyable class. Learnt a lot of tips and tricks and a variety of ways to cook with duck. Best of all we all got to sit down and eat one another’s creations. The staff were amazing. Left with a very full tummy.

— Monnie

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

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

The class from beginning to end was 10/10, I learnt so many skills, cooked great food, then dined with wines/drinks, also 10/10. My second class, cant wait to do another. Thanks to all involved.

— Jill

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

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

Fantastic cooking class.
Highly recommended.

— Steve

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

Great class! Wendy was so informative. It’s a great space and very clean. Thank you Gail. We got to observe and participate and the food we prepared and shared was a delicious feast. My daughter said ‘why we would we have turkey for Xmas when roast Duck was so easy and delicious.’

Christmas is going to be duckalicious! Highly recommended

— Philippa

Excellent class! We worth it. Plenty of great tips for cooking duck well! Thank you, will be back for more classes.

— yvonne

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

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

Finally eliminating the fear of how to cook a great roast duck! Way to easy, thanks.
The demystifying class was an eye opener in how easy it is to prepare such interesting dishes
We loved the Christmas class last week, thanks again for teaching us some clever techniques, that look way too difficult in cook books!
We will be back next year for more, happy 2016 to everyone at Luv a Duck, Sharon & John

— Sharon

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

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

We're a ducking good time

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