Chef Dave puts his heart and soul into his cooking classes. I have been to other cooking classes but nothing like this before. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish.

Lots of fun, great food, and knowledgeable and high energy instruction. I’ve taken a lot of cooking classes before and this was one of the best. Highly recommend.

I had the most amazing time in this cooking class. The food was absolutely divine and the ambiance was nothing short of the best. This class was worth every red cent.

Finding the location was a bit challenging, but that can be Panamá sometimes. Chef Dave was accessible and graciously helped me navigate my way there. At one point, someone on the street recognized his name immediately and helped me to his front door. Honestly, that part was not surprising at all. It’s one of the things I truly loved about Panamá — the way community still seems to move naturally through everyday life. When I arrived, Chef Dave welcomed me warmly into a space that already felt inviting and alive. My station was fully prepared and waiting, which immediately set the tone for the evening. The group of seven turned out to be the perfect size: intimate enough for real connection, but large enough to keep the energy interesting and engaging. Everything felt intentional. The ingredients were fresh, the kitchen was beautifully stocked, the space was immaculate, and every station was arranged for an easy, natural workflow. Even more special, we were being welcomed into Chef Dave’s home — and it genuinely felt that way. Chef was quick to smile, laugh, and fully engage with everyone in the room. He seemed just as interested in the attendees as we were in him, the food, and the preparation itself. What made the experience especially memorable was the way he shared knowledge. Chef created space for everyone to participate, contribute, and even share stories from their own kitchens. The atmosphere never felt intimidating or performative; it felt collaborative and warm. As the cooking unfolded, he revealed small details and techniques that made the entire process feel approachable and exciting. There was always something happening. While Chef was handling the more delicate parts of the cooking, the rest of us were chopping, prepping, tasting, grazing, laughing, and moving together through the experience. While e was clearly the Chef, he was also making everyone feel like part of the team. The entire evening felt immersive, welcoming, and unexpectedly special. Chef Dave is an absolute delight. 10/10

Chef Dave was a vibe! Very personable, very knowledgeable and skillful! I attended with my wife really just as a tag along but I truly enjoyed this experience. Enough to come back for seconds next time we’re in town!

So glad that we booked this experience! Chef Dave taught us so much on cooking and gave amazing tips and tricks that I will definitely be using when we get back home. The Afro Panamanian food we cooked was probably one of the best that I've eaten in Panama city and the process of cooking it was so fun! Would definitely recommend anyone to experience this unique and absolutely delicious cooking class.

GREAT CLASS! I love that this was a small setting allowing for a very hand on experience with Chef Dave. Chef Dave is very knowledgeable and very fun. We were able to get to know each other, learn great techniques and cook authentic, tasty food. I'm pescatarian and Chef Dave changed the menu for me - which I'm very grateful to him for that.

This was a very joyful and unexpected experience. Unexpected because we learned so much about basic cooking prep that we thought we knew. The 8 of us prepared a shared meal which made the class all the more intimate. Joyful because in taking part in this shared meal we really got a chance to interact with the other classmates. Chef Dave was an excellent host and skillfully guided us in creating a lovely meal of chicken stew with coconut rice and beans. We had fun and everyone included Chef Dave and his assistant enjoyed the conversation, kidding around and great food.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ More than a cooking class—this was a whole vibe. The energy was warm and welcoming, and cooking Afro-Panamanian dishes with people from all over turned it into a true cultural experience. The Chef kept it fun, engaging, and authentic, and every dish was full of bold, incredible flavor. But honestly, the best part was the connection—strangers quickly felt like a crew. If you’re in Panama, don’t think twice. Come hungry and ready for a good time.
