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

Well it was the most amazing experience learning to cook with Duck. Karole was so a delight to work with, very knowledgeable and passionate about what she does teaching the class, We made delicious dishes, learnt new techniques and of course got to try everything the group made.
Had a great time and also met some lovely people.
I will certainly be back!
Thanks Luv A Duk

This class was a revelation – of the teacher’s knowledge and professionalism, of the doable possibilities with duck, and our own capacities to produce amazing appetisers. A wonderful experience – will definitely do another class. Thank you to the team.

How to roast a duck and have crackly skin

— Julia

Highly Recommend! It was great fun learning and eating. Well organised and generous amount of recipes to prepare. Just wished we could of taken some home.

— Kerrilyne

The trainers Wendy and Nicki were incredible. Very friendly and knowledgeable, and the food that was provided was incredible.
Left rolling out the building and will most definitely be doing more of these classes!

— Claire

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

Loved the class, heaps of food to eat and great ideas for the next finger food occasion.

— Barbara

A fantastic cooking class. I learnt, with confidence, how to prepare a good selection of duck finger food. Well organised with supportive staff. Well done!

— Helen

Fingerfood workshop sounded promising and the food that was prepared was interesting and delicious. Unfortunately there was a delayed start to the class due to an administrative error in the arrival times, which made the whole workshop / cooking appear rushed and left a negative vibe until the end of what should have been a relaxed conclusion of our lunch. That was disappointing indeed!Still Luv a duck is a wonderful product and I will happily continue cooking it!

— Marion

Loved the finger food class. This is my second class and I’m continued to be amazed how versatile duck is. Knowledgeable and friendly instructors. Looking forward to a third class sometime soo

— Kerrianne

Great hands-on class with lots of tips and inspiration for cooking with duck. The kitchen is very well equipped and the instructor was friendly and knowledgeable. Recommend.

— Joyce

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

— Lisa

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

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

I did a Google review. Please refer to that.

The finger food class was very informative and a great learning experience. The staff were very supportive and willing to assist. I was very surprised in the amount of recipes we completed in the
three and half hours and by the way the food was very tasty.

— David

We were taught lots of new and delicious finger food recipes. Wendy was an excellent teacher and had so much food to eat a really great night out as well.

— Pat

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.
