Our Duck Around the World Class yesterday was excellent, we would highly recommend! Both our Tutor (Wendy) and Assistant (Jane) were very warm and welcoming., and kept things ticking along perfectly. The venue has a super-clean commercial kitchen, with a good layout that enabled all participants to clearly see each demonstration before starting our own attempts. The onsite store offers 10% discount to class participants on the day. Our friendly small group prepared a range of delicious dishes at a steady pace. As well as cooking duck dishes, Wendy had us making interesting and achievable salads, sides and sauces. She demonstrated how to present each platter for maximum visual appeal. The ingredients were fresh and delicious , and we really enjoyed separate breaks to sample two duck entrees before sitting down to main dishes and wine at the end of the session. We left feeling delighted by our half day experience, and empowered enough to recreate some new duck dishes at home.

What an exceptional class with beyond expert tuition/direction. We were hands on with Wendy’s guidance and experienced cutting up a duck into pieces then personally prepared 2 dishes. A roast duck was ready for us to sample early in the session, whetting our appetite for what was yet to come. We were able to see what the other participants were cooking and we picked up so many helpful tips along the way. The lovely lady who helped Wendy cleaned up around us, making gift a seamless class with no dishes for us to wash after our banquet of duck dishes and sides with a glass of wine. We have the confidence to recreate the dishes at home, and look forward to many delicious meals with duck as the hero. We will return, thank you so much!
