Super Chefs is a show for 4 to 8 year olds where South American cooking skills are presented in Spanish and English with song and dance.  We are introduced to the cast of three.  Valeria (Natassia Bustamante) is in charge of her kitchen and welcomes us.  Her son Manny (Juan José Galeano) is there to help with his toy “Mighty Mujer” a kind of Superwoman, which translates as Mighty Woman which has inspired an all female sporting event.  Six year old Manny wants to be a superhero. Completing the cast is Alma the grandmother (Samantha Manzur) whose role is to have her old fashioned ideas exposed as nonsense.  The first song is to “Stay young and strong and mighty”.  So to La Cucina or the Kitchen.

We start with hand sanitizer dispensed to the whole audience.  This is the start of the strong inclusivity of this show which doesn’t pull a few from the audience to participate but involves everyone.  We are going to make guacamole but first there are corn biscuits to form into a disc from a ball of dough and again everyone joins in with less than uniform results, but praise for all.
