Very well organised event with many more duck courses than I ever imagined. There were over 8 dishes. All delicious and all cooked by the class mates.
Very knowledgeable chef and extremely helpful aide.
I would recommend this to anyone who loves ducks.

Such a great class. Thanks to Wendy as chef for all her tips and to the amazing Rhonda for literally running around everyone all night keeping dishes clean and everything in order!!!

What a wonderful concept. Learning to cook delicious duck dishes from the comfort of my own kitchen. Booking online was easy, emails leading up to the class were timely and informative, the delivery of the duck and ingredients went smoothly, the preparation instructions were easy to follow and the class was fun and interactive. I delighted my family with the amazing duck meal I prepared.

— Theresa

Thoroughly enjoyed the cooking – it’s just so easy to cook beautiful food when you are shown how 🙂
thanks ladies.

— Linda

Had a fantastic day. The class was just the right size, well organized and ran really smoothly. Had fun meeting new people we all got on and worked well together. Would highly recommend anyone to attend one of these classes. I will definitely be doing another one.

— Lesley

It was fun and good experience overall. Also the introduction of the luvaduck’s was very skillful.

— Andrew

Excellent Session – Wendy is a great teacher – so positive and encouraging – makes you feel you’re doing a marvellous job! Such good value with all the dishes tackled (and devoured!). I will certainly go again.

— Myra

This was a fun class, with lots of knowledge and skills learned along the way. We sampled many dishes and they were all delicious. It’s so much easier to cook duck than I thought!

— Joanne

Loved how we were taught how to break down a duck and it wasn’t just provided in its pieces.
They also taught us little tips and tricks about HOW to cut the pieces out and different seasonings that would work really well with the different cuts.

— Susan

Do it…. Seriously, take the class. Wendy was a great teacher, I was left without a partner and that didn’t matter in the slightest. The food tasted incredible and the recipes are so simple… do yourself a big favour and take the class!

— Matthew

What a fun class. Our instructor, Wendy, gives very clear instructions on each aspect of cooking with duck, from dissecting the raw duck to the method of cooking each fabulous French dish. Amazing the many different flavours that I now know I can add to my list. Wendy never misses a beat.

— Margaret

Great night and excellent way to understand the many ways to prepare and cook duck. Excellent value and a good experience.

— Murray

This was possibly one of the best evenings we have had. 3.5 hours of learning everything about how to cook duck the French way and everything else! It seems very daunting but Wendy just made it a breeze. Such a well organised class and we had heaps of fun! So so much food so make sure you have an appetite when you go over. I can’t wait to try the Asian style duck class next. And such absolute value for money!

— Reetu

My daughter and I had a great time at the French Inspired lesson. Karol had a huge amount of information and tips to share and the hands-on approach worked well with the relatively small group. Because we actually worked with the recipes provided, tasted our results and were able to view and taste others’ results, we learned a great deal that day. The resulting feast at the end was awesome. Thanks Karol and Liz and the Luv-A-Duck team. We’ll definitely take part in another course.

— Helen

Wendy gave us an excellent introduction to jointing and carving duck before we split into twos to work on 2 recipes per pair. The morning split into two – a late morning break to try the parfait and soup entrees, and lunch after we’d finished cooking all the other recipes. None of them were overly complicated and it was great to try everything at lunch. There was an opportunity, of course, to buy duck produce at the end of the class. Recommendation – if you go, don’t have a heavy breakfast. You need room for all that duck!
