A very enjoyable fun class where we felt comfortable and welcome .
A huge range of duck finger foods were created , taste tested and discussed.
The recipes with instruction suit all abilities and use ingredients readily accessible in most home kitchens.
Once demonstrated these recipes are easy and fun to make at home – our children were impressed with our recreations!!
Great gift for all ages .

We got lots of good ideas for finger food and snacks, and recipes to take home.
The way everything was set up ready to use was terrific.
Our instructor Karol was great, and Rhonda so helpful.
And the other people were most enjoyable company..
In all, it was a terrific night, loved it!

— Julie

The instructors had great knowledge but the class was very rushed and all over the place. It felt like we were being pushed to leave. At this stage would not recommend going

— Maree

Duck Finger Food Class was a fun night. The host, Karol and Joanne were very organised and we were made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived. At the end of the night, the whole class set down together and got to enjoy our hard work, yummy! We will book another class and be back again.

— Michelle

Great experience & duck is now on our menu, thanks

— Jacqueline

What a great morning! Sociable learning environment with easy to learn recipes.Lots of thought gone into this class,with the teachers ready to help.Would highly recommend— this was my third class ( after a couple of years break)very enjoyable eating the food too!

— Greg

Yes it was great. The teacher was great and had a very smart way of ensuring everyone finished their particular selection on time. My preference is to do less as there was a huge rush at the end. I would have preferred fewer dishes. But overall it was terrific. Loved the fact we were offered glass of wine then sat and ate and chatted up other participants in the class.

— Noela

Great way to try new food and how to cook it. Awesome host support during the class, would recommend to all.

— Lisa

Great class but best to be with a friend to work together on your 2 dishes.
2-3 dishes I wouldnot bother doing at home but good tasting them on the night
Helped throughout the night .
Lots to eat at the end along with a glass or two of champs/ wine .

— Pam

Excellent hands of class again. I have done others classes in the past and they all were very enjoyable and good learning experience. As I was able to watch and learn hands on, it makes it easier to do those recipes at home. Finger food class was great learning experience and I already know, which recipes I will use to and to entertained friend, who has been enjoying my duck dinner parties.

Fantastic atmosphere. Friendly, courteous and knowledgeable staff.
Look forward to our next class

— Steve

Learnt how to portion the duck and also how to roast a perfect duck. Loved making the quesadillas and how easy they were to make. Also seeing all the other dishes and getting hints along the way. It was lovely to sit around the table and to be able to taste all the dishes and have a sip of wine. Would recommend the class

— Jane

Had a great time in the finger food course and would recommend it as a great starting point. If you were trying duck for the first time or wanting to cook it yourself it’s a great experience and we’ll do it again.

— Terry

We had a fabulous,informative and extremely entertaining night. It was very educational and we learnt so much in such a short time. So well structured with five teams of two working along side each other. Our teacher,Wendy and her assistant Ali,we’re so helpful and over the course of 3 hours wehad all created an entrée and main then sat and shared the banquet with some fine wine and good company sharing our experience and discussing the dishes we’d created. Certainly value for money and a lovely venue. Thanks so much!

— Lyn

This was a fantastic experience! It was a really hands on class led by a friendly and knowledgeable cook. Highly recommend!

— Ally

Thoroughly enjoyed the class and everything that we made, Wendy was once again very informative and giving of her knowledge and time. Absolutely loved the sliders, tarts and pies. Well worth attending and will be doing another class soon.
