Fun times cooking! - OMG Where do I start? Ms Tanya was awesome! Super professional and very mom-like! She made sure not only that you learned how to cook the dish, but you also knew how to prepare for it! She's very sweet and hospitable. But the food.. oh my goodness! Had I not have a busy weekend for the next 3 weeks I would definitely be cooking the arroz con pollo! But I will be making the plantains this weekend! This was a great Excursion away from the Sun and water. I highly suggest you to try it. And I love how we cooked the sauce to go with the chicken and learned about the different ingredients that goes into the sauce! My goodness this was worth every penny if not more! Don't be stupid.. try it out! It's worthy! Trust me it's worth every penny! I'm not proofreading this because it was too long lol.

Cook in Panama - Wonderful cooking class and experience! We learned 10 difference delicious Panamanian dishes as well as mojitos. There was plenty of food and the atmosphere was relaxed. We really loved all of the dishes. The chef was accommodating to dietary restrictions and made sure everyone felt at home. It was a small group experience with 4 people in the class total so you don’t feel left out.
