My first memories are: watching my aunt and grandmother prepared exotic foods for families and friends, including the governor of Panama. I can remember when my aunt prepared a seafood soup that was out of this world, which is known as bouillabaisse.
I didn't know what it was called at that time but it was so good I had a smile on my face from ear to ear.She looked at me and smiled. I was in the kitchen so much that my grandfather would take the dish towel and flag my behind so I will leave the kitchen.
