Kyra has years of experience managing teams throughout many different industries. From hospitality to design, her background helps keep the team running. Being an accomplished cook herself makes her an invaluable part of the team, not just from an administrative side, but from helping to refine and vet new content and user experience as well.
With a strong cooking background and a love for good food and getting the word out, Tara is one of the main recipe testers as well as the social media manager for Lil’ Luna. She makes sure all of our followers are in the know of new recipes just coming out, or Seasonal favorites that you just gotta try!
Ali is behind all of the emails and recipe card writing that goes on at Lil’ Luna. She is also our informal Chief Happiness Officer. You will never find anyone more cheerful, helpful or willing that Ali.
one of our main goals is to make the recipes as helpful, accurate, and easy to understand as possible. Kristi is one of our secret weapons when it comes to that. Her main responsibility is to do research and testing on every single recipe to make sure we have the most correct information for FAQ’s, variations, reader questions, etc… Since she is an amazing cook, she is the perfect fit for the job!
Alicia has recipe tested and photographed hundreds of the creations on the site. After they’ve been tested by us, Alicia tests again and takes beautiful images for us to use on the site. She is an incredible asset to the site and we are lucky to have worked with her for almost 12 years.
Liv’s Passion and skill for creating recipes and making anything taste amazing is what inspired her daughter, Kristyn, to even start cooking in the first place. Liv is the ultimate recipe tester. If something is not working out or is too complicated, Liv is the one to adjust and test until it is just right. Her hispanic heritage and authentic recipes passed down through her family are found throughout every part of the website.
What can we say, every good cook needs a taste testing squad. Kristyn’s kids, Lily, Gavin, Evie, Wes, Mel, and Eliza are often the first to try almost any recipe. If they don’t give their stamp of approval, then its back do the drawing board. We couldn’t do it without them!
