About

The Mexican holiday Dia de los Muertos is a time when family and friends welcome back the souls of loved ones. Gino Garcia, author of Disney Pixar’s "Coco: The Official Cookbook," will teach you how to make the traditional and delicious Oaxacan-style Pan de Muerto

You’ll learn how to whip up this fluffy, brioche-like sweet bread flavored with orange, anise seed, cinnamon, and vanilla, and then decorate it in the classic “skull and bones” shape. 

On the menu

  • Pan de muerto breads.
  • Cajeta de muerto (guava and sweet potato butter).
  • Atole con cempasúchil (warm corn drink with marigold flowers and honey).

BARN’s kitchen facility regularly uses ingredients on the FDA’s major allergens list. This class uses milk (butter), eggs, and wheat.

 

Class Policies

  • Ages14 and up are welcome.
  • Wear closed-toe shoes and tie back long hair.

Gino Garcia

Gino is a trained chef, culinary educator, and author of Disney Pixar’s Coco: The Official Cookbook. Gino’s style of cooking is inspired by his familial roots in Mexico and his upbringing in the agricultural regions of California’s Central Valley. Currently based out of Seattle, he enjoys hosting pop-up events celebrating regional cuisines of Mexico and Latin America, teaching cooking classes, and building community through food and storytelling. When he’s not teaching, he is busy spreading the gospel of his chef-created, glitter-infused chile salt brand, Salecito, which features lesser-known Mexican ingredients and flavor combinations that glam up snacks and beverages.
Before entering the cooking world, Gino worked as a consultant in the public health sector focusing on issues related to improved nutrition, food access, healthcare, and disease prevention in immigrant and BIPOC communities.
