What a fabulous experience. The new kitchen is amazing. The team are super helpful. Karol is out of this world! Her knowledge is so extensive and her enthusiasm shines through. At the end we got to taste everything with a glass of wine. What could be better?

We had a fabulous time and are now comfortable cooking and cutting up ducks. Our teacher and the staff were enthusiastic and made the class a great experience. Met a lovely group of like minded novices. Enjoyed eating our cooking and the wine too. Well worth it. Highly recommended.

— Gary

The class was outstanding. Five pairs created an absolute feast under the guidance of Wendy. We all learnt how to complete all recipes and got to sit down and share them at the end. Wendy’s coordination of us was brilliant and Rhonda was a powerhouse support. This was one of the best gifts I have ever received and would recommend it to everyone.

This class was fantastic. Wendy and Ellie were great teachers who the made the experience enjoyable and interesting. We cooked a number of dishes in pairs and at each point that something new was being shown to a pair, we all had the opportunity to look. We learnt about preparing a whole duck, some tips for vegetable preparation, how to make pasta from scratch easily, how to cook the different parts of the duck easily and how to make some really easy and delicious sauces.

— Bridget

What an amazing experience! My daughter and I loved the time we spent together doing something we enjoy – cooking! It was great to learn all about duck and how to create a range of dishes showcasing this beautiful bird. As we cooked we also ate roast duck and Peking duck with a lovely glass of wine and at the end, we sat down to a magnificent banquet. I can’t wait to try another of the classes.

— Brigitte

Had an excellent time learning to cook. Everyone was super friendly and it was good to pick up tips and tricks of cooking duck along the way. The teacher was very knowledgeable and amazing at coordinating all the different dishes being cooked at the same time. It was also really nice everyone getting to sit down together to eat what we created!

— Ida

I learned a great deal about preparing and cooking duck. I found it very informative and very professionally run – Wendy was great 🙂 The class was a perfect balance of instruction and hands-on and had a fun, relaxed atmosphere. Besides the practical knowledge to take away from the night, the highlight for me was sitting down to enjoy the food with the rest of the group (and a glass of wine!). I would definitely recommend this class to other people and I am keen to sign up for some of the other classes.

— Meg

I had the pleasure of learning how to dissect a duck for the first time and some inside knowledge on roasting a duck. Also learned many flavour combinations for use with duck breasts, which was rewarding.

— Kean

The class and overall experience was excellent. We learnt the secret to crispy skin duck and made a fantastic spread of duck dishes and accompaniments. A top night out for duck lovers.

— Sandra

Great fun, staff are lovely, would do again

— Lily

My wife and I attended a hands-on Duck Demystified course this week and it was brilliant.
Wendy ran the night in such a professional manner and dealt with 8 amateurs so well.
And the end result was delicious!
No need to change anything.

In this very hands on class we learn’t how easy it is to prepare an array of duck dishes as well as some tricks of the trade e.g. how to make your own pasta, mayonnaise and boil the perfect egg.

This was the fourth time I have been and I am already thinking about the next class to go to. It was great to participate in such a supportive, informative and interactive cooking class. You have a real camaraderie with the other participants. It’s fantastic to learn new techniques and to be inspired by different dinner choices. Plus…. eating yours and the other participants dishes is fantastic. Big thank you to Wendy and Liz!
