About

Tamales are an iconic Mexican food that go hand-in-hand with the winter holidays. Each tamal feels like a gift to be unwrapped, offering a complete and warming meal contained neatly within each corn husk. While eating them is easy, making tamales is a project that is best tackled with many hands to help. It’s a favorite activity for friends and family gatherings.
 
Join Chef Gino Garcia as he shows you how to organize your own tamalada — tamal-making party. In class, you will make three kinds of tamales – two savory and one sweet. Learn how to make the sauces and masa (dough). Taste what you make, and take home your sweet tamal.
 
On the menu

  • Freshly whipped masa.
  • Tamal de rajas y queso (roasted green chile and cheese with salsa verde).
  • Tamal rojo de pollo (shredded chicken in red chile salsa).
  • Sweet tamal de piña (pineapple) for dessert.

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

Instructor
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.
