Cooking as art: Pan de Muerto to be part of Artspace show, Dia de Los Muertos

Dia de Los Muertos, the Artspace celebration being planned by a multi-cultural SRAC panel, will send the bakers to their ovens to make Pan de Muerto. It is a frosted bread and a classic element of Dia partying.

The panel was treated to a taste of pan from the oven of Maria Montano Murphy, a woman born in Guadalahara, in Mexico's state of Jalisco. About her heritage she said, "My cooking pans and even my mom's coffee cup have become part of the Mexican display at the Multi-Cultural center of the South.

The Times has a helpful article about the Multi-Cultural Center of the South, on Travis Street."
