Two weekends ago, reader Jesús Segura tried his hand at making pan dulces, conchas, and empanadas with Mariela Camacho (@pan_y_mijas) of Comadre Panaderia. It all went down at Not Without Salt’s workshop space in Phinney Ridge.

“I learned so much!” Jesús wrote. “Mariela takes such great care & effort to source the most fantastic locally sourced ingredients. Paired with such a wide breadth and depth of knowledge of the culture & history, it’s an extraordinary experience. If anyone ever has a chance to take a class from her, do it! You will not be disappointed.”
