With the lockdown, in order, many households that usually had the support of a part-time cook may be left stranded. Those that aren’t may also be feeling their inner Master Chef trying to burst out with all this time on their hand. In short, more people are likely to be in the kitchen this time of the month than usual.
TikTok fully supports those amateur cooks trying to either garner or better this life skill. This is why the video-sharing app has started a new challenge with the hashtag “TikTok Chef”. The rules are simple, those interested in winning prizes worth ₹70,000 must upload a clip of themselves cooking something creatively using #TikTokChef. The contest is running from April 1 to April 16.
Many famous chefs took to their own TikTok profiles to advertise this competition. Here are a few examples.
Indians at home have already started participating in the trend. Here are some of the most yummylicious videos with the #TikTokChef. Pre-warning though, watching these may either make you hungry, motivated to pick up that chef’s apron, or both.

Or is it a combination of the two, as you head to the kitchen to make these delicious treats yourself? Either way, you still have until April 16 to post a video of yourself with the hashtag #TikTokChef to win the prize. What are you waiting for?
