THANK YOU TO WENDY OUR HEAD CHEF FOR HER SUPPORT THROUGHOUT OUR COOKING SESSIONS & TO GAIL WHO KEPT US TOPPED UP WITH OUR DRINKS THROUGHOUT THE MORNING & KEPT THE KITCHEN IN FULL SUPPLY OF CLEAN DISHES. THANK YOU BOTH FOR AN ENJOYABLE MORNING. REGARDS ROSLYN C

We had a great time with Liz and Wendy in the new kitchen. Its such an inviting place to learn. The recipes were easy to follow and super delicious, and I was very happy with the generous portions. I love learning in this kitchen and am looking forward to coming back again.

— Tara

Great experience. Learnt a lot about cooking duck and preparing. lots of different finger food items which were all delicious

There was so much to learn on the evening. I think the best was being taught how to roast a duck correctly for the best crisp skin. The whole evening was better than we expected, Wendy is a great ambassador for Luv a Duck she is so happy to help and share her knowledge. Everyone got on well and the banquet at the end of the class was 10 out of 10. I will certainly being some more classes.

— Sandra

Loved it. Wendy is an excellent teacher and very good at explaining everything simply.
No recipe was too complicated and everything was delicious.

— Jill

What a fantastic class! Very professional, but fun. Fantastic recipes that would be easy to re-create at home. We made about 10 different finger foods that were all delicious. The people running the class were incredibly welcoming, really knew their stuff, and were open and communicative and dealt with all our question. I would highly recommend Luv-a-duck cooking class, and plan to go again sometime in the future.

— Rachel

— Melanie

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

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

Fantastic night. Enjoyed learning more ways to cooking duck. Excellent friendly teacher and enjoyed eating all our new duck creations. A great night!

— Denise

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

— Shardul

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

This is the third class I’ve had the privilege of attending. Wendy is brilliant… Even after 12 years, her passion continues to shine through as she helps each and everyone cook their delightful duck recipes. There are many cooking classes in Melbourne but not as organised and enjoyable as this one. Thanks for another great day guys! Love your work 🙂

— Hayley

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

Kevin and I enjoyed our finger food class. Wendy was an excellent presenter and teacher. The recipes were all very different and delicious.

— Margaret

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
