It was a good class and I did learn some things about cooking with duck that i did not know. Well worth the price we paid for the class.

— Kay

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

Thanks for a fantastic cooking class. We learnt really useful skills and some excellent recipes.

— Bridet

My two friends and I had a great time at our cooking class. We learnt to cook some great finger food and also picked up a lot of good tips for cooking duck. The food was excellent, the kitchen set up really good and we had a ball. We’ll definitely be back for more.

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 .

— Janete

Had been to a demonstration class before – this time was a hands on one. Loved learning how to cook some duck finger food with a glass or two of pinot noir to wash it down. Wendy is a terrific demonstrator and we learnt heaps. We had a living social voucher so made it very good value. Overall a very pleasant experience. Thoroughly recommend.

— Judy

Great class with personal interaction from the tutor chefs. The duck cakes and chocolate tart was a treat.

— Margaret

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

Great class, great value.

— Deb

Wendy managed the 6 groups with ease. She was aware of what was happening, and managed to ‘be there’ every time we needed help. She made a very positive contribution to the activities.

— Ron

This was my second cooking class at Luv A Duck and both were wonderful. Wendy and Joan made us feel very welcome and guided us through the day with ease and great courtesy. Loved the food and will make some of the receipes very soon. Thank you.

— Jo

Thanks to Wendy and Gail for a great morning/afternoon of learning, cooking and having a great time.
Would totally recommend the course.
We are looking into our next class.

— Sue

Great class and super passionate presenter. I normally obsess over making everything from scratch and I loved that this class gave me some great cheats to whip some really tasty bites quickly. It was also a great introduction to the wider range of Luv-a-Duck that I wasn’t aware of.
