The best way to understand a culture isn’t through restaurants. It’s inside a real Panamanian home kitchen, cooking and talking alongside someone who grew up with these recipes. And that’s what you’ll do here. You’ll join a small group and prepare traditional dishes such as Pico de Gallo and Fish Ceviche, guided step by step in a relaxed, welcoming setting. As you cook, your local host shares practical techniques and cultural details that rarely appear in cookbooks but make all the difference when recreating these dishes at home. Most ingredients are easy to find worldwide, so you’ll be able to easily recreate these dishes. Along the way, candid photos are taken so you leave with real memories. Afterward, you’ll receive our digital recipe book and a curated Panama City Food Guide to keep exploring local flavors. When everything is ready, the group sits down to enjoy the meal they prepared together. A homemade mojito is served, glasses are raised, and the kitchen turns into a shared table filled with conversation and laughter. You leave with practical skills you’ll actually use, genuine memories, and the confidence of our 5-star money-back guarantee for total peace of mind.

5.00My two friends and I took a girls’ trip to Panama City and attended Chef Winnie’s cooking class on our first full day and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. Chef Winnie welcomed us into her home and offered so much more than just a cooking class. She shared her experience as an expat in Panama, the culinary lessons she’s learned from her Panamanian friends, and meaningful historical context about the country and its cuisine. She was incredibly warm and welcoming, and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. She also created such a comfortable and intimate atmosphere that made the entire experience feel personal and special. It truly felt like we were spending time with a friend rather than attending a class. It was also a refreshing change of scenery from being in the city—her home is beautiful, peaceful, and surrounded by lush greenery. The entire experience was thoughtful, immersive, and something we’ll remember long after our trip. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Panama!

5.00Chef Winnie guided us through creating a full meal from snacks to starters to mains and desserts. Everyone cut and cooked, everyone laughed and shared in the fun, and of course, everyone ate well! Winnie hosted us in her home which made the experience even more intimate and real. This is a must do when in Panama City!!
Fabulous day of learning Panamanian foods!
