    We had so much fun eating fruit. Tanya is incredibly knowledgeable. As she walked us around the fruit market collecting the fruits we would be eating, she told us the history and nutritional values of everything we looked at which was more than just fruit. Then she took us to a grocery store. We were able to compare pricing store vs market and she showed us her recommended food brands of non-fruit items. It was a great way to spend a morning. If you are moving to Panama you should definitely take a tour with Tanya.

    Chef Tanya created the perfect welcome for our family’s first Panamanian experience. We toured Merca Panama with her explaining how unfamiliar fruits and vegetables are used. And purchased a bunch of things — some we’d never seen before (piñuelas, pixbaes, and lulú) to tuck into at a side table. Our bellies full, we departed with so many ideas for foods we should prepare or keep an eye out for. A truly wonderful start to our trip!
