Chef Dave has relocated from Kenya to his new residence in Panama. He conducts Afro-Panamanian cooking classes in Casco Viejo. The Afro-Panamanian community descends from Africans who arrived in Panama during the Spanish conquest, which began in the 15th century. They make up about 20% of the Panamanian population and have significantly influenced the country’s culinary landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Afro-Panamanian cooking class in Casco Viejo, you’ll learn to cook using spices and fresh ingredients. This interactive culinary adventure is enjoyed alongside fellow travelers. With Chef Dave’s expert guidance, you’ll collaborate to prepare meals while engaging in conversation. Enhance your cooking abilities and discover new recipes. The highlight is that you can savor all the dishes you create and even take home any leftovers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
