Chef Winnie makes you... - Chef Winnie makes you feel at home and does an exceptional job of integrating different peoples. My group had a German family with 2 children and a Boston couple with the husband celebrating a birthday. Chef Winnie incorporated the children, celebrated the birthday and never gave up on us adults. The meal was delicious and the evening was filled with cooking tips, laughter and an exchange of experiences. I'm soooo thankful

You must not miss this activity - What an incredible experience. Chef Winnie welcomes you and takes you on a journey through Panamanian recipes and anecdotes. She is a warm person who will make you have a great time over good drinks and good meals. In addition, she gives you some culinary tips that would make you a chef of a great starred restaurant. All the flavors were there. It was delicious. We ate very well and had a great time with the other participants. The time went by really quickly.

An engaging, entertaining and just plain fun day - Chef Winnie is fantastic. We not only learned how to make several Panamanian dishes, and enjoyed eating them, but it was just flat out great fun. I highly recommend this tour if you are in Panama City.
