Children rave about the dishes they create at Little Kitchen Academy, and while every creation is unique, each one is based on a thoughtfully prepared recipe. Natalia Ordoñez oversees those recipes as the Recipe and Curriculum Manager, but her imprint on the fabric of Little Kitchen Academy stretches far beyond that title. Her infectious spirit brightens whatever room she’s in, while her global upbringing and sense of adventure add a welcome zest to foods the students prepare.
