Hands-on cooking experience guided by a bilingual local chef
Begin your experience inside a true Panamanian home kitchen, where authentic flavors, stories, and hands-on cooking come together. Meet your instructor and a small group to begin your Panamanian culinary adventure. No experience is necessary, and you're bound to learn something new about Panamanian cooking and culture, whether you're a novice or an expert chef. Your group will create several traditional Panamanian dishes such as Pico de Gallo and Fish Ceviche, plus several appetizers and the classic Panamanian mojito. Listen as your instructor guides you through each step of the process, taking notes if you like. Most of the ingredients used in these dishes can be found all over the world, so you'll be able to recreate them at home. Once everything is ready, gather around the table to enjoy the full meal you created, share stories with your host, and toast with a homemade mojito. You’ll leave not just with recipes, but with skills, memories, and connections most travelers never experience.

Chef Winnie was absolutely incredible. From start to finish, the experience was seamless, professional, and genuinely impressive. The food was exceptional—beautifully prepared, full of flavor, and presented with care and creativity. You can tell she takes pride in every detail. Beyond the amazing dishes, Chef Winnie brought such a warm, welcoming energy that elevated the entire meal. She was attentive without being intrusive, thoughtful, and truly talented. It felt like a luxury dining experience made personal. I highly recommend Chef Winnie to anyone looking for top-tier culinary expertise. I can’t wait for the next opportunity to enjoy her cooking again!

Chef Winnie is amazing! We joined her group cooking class in Panama and it was an excellent class. We learned so much about Panamanian food culture and go to meet to others traveling and connect with them: the class is very hands on and informative. Would definitely recommend

We had an amazing time at Chef Winnie’s cooking class! Winnie is an absolute gem—warm, upbeat, and super fun to learn from. We picked up so many useful tips, had a ton of laughs, and the food was chef’s kiss. Totally worth it. Five stars from me and 100% recommend!

My mom and I were fortunate enough to end up with a private class with Winnie because the other party cancelled. She was so entertaining and wonderful at teaching. I am definitely a beginner when it comes to cooking, but everything was completely doable for me and the food turned out delicious. Fantastic way to spend a rainy afternoon! Thank you so much, Winnie!!

Chef Winnie was just knowledgeable and helpful in the kitchen. This experience is very hands on and in touch with the culture. I also did the shopping tour. Chef Winne walked me down each isle pointing out the all local items. I am very pleased to spend my birthday doing this activity.
