About

Salsa is an essential part of every Mexican meal. They balance and enliven, add color and texture, and are endlessly adaptable. Elevate your salsa game with chef and cookbook author Gino Garcia as he takes you on a tour of technique and flavor through five complex traditional Mexican salsas: salsa roja (tomato-based boiled salsa); salsa aguacate (creamy uncooked avocado salsa); salsa macha (fried, oil-based salsa with three types of dried red chile, peanuts, and garlic); salsa borracha (a sauteed salsa with tomato, dried chile, orange, and Mexican lager); and a fermented hot sauce that you'll start to make in class and take home to finish.

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.
