Some of the finest French dishes will be reinterpreted using local ingredients and classic French techniques. Guest pastry chef Edna Cochez, the chef-owner of Bistro Express, a catering company in Panama City, will delight guests with fresh French pastries and breads, and create a mouthwatering special dessert.
