From Chappies to Cornflakes: What will Nara Smith make from scratch next?

Served! SA-born influencer and model Nara Smith tantalises the tastebuds by effortlessly “throwing together” a breakfast staple: Cornflakes. From scratch.

When Nara Smith starts a video with, “This morning my children wanted or my husband has been craving…” we all wait with bated breath for what will unfold.

The 22-year-old South African-born Tiktokker and model has fascinated fans and foes with her culinary skills.

She has even stirred controversy amid the discussions on social media regarding the Traditional Housewife.

For her home-made means exactly that. Her latest revelation: cornflakes… from scratch.

Nara takes her 6 million TikTok followers on a step-by-step journey through the whole process.

Yes, she starts adding the cornmeal, cornflour, water, etc to a bowl.

Watch the video to see how she prepared something most of us grab from a shelf in a shop.

@naraazizasmith next time I’d use more corn flour instead of corn meal and try to get it even thinner! The kids didn’t care though ?? #easyrecipes #homecooking #breakfast #cereal #fypツ #toddlersoftiktok #cornflakes ♬ Jazz masterpiece “As time goes by” covered by a Jazz violinist by profession(962408) – ricca

Nara is married to model Lucky Blue and they have three children: Rumble Honey, Slim Easy, and Whimsy Lou.

While her little ones are under five, the enthusiastic Nara still tackles treats like making bubblegum and chocolate bars, creamy butter, and has now taken to baking her own sourdough bread.

Nara does all this in a cool, calm, and collected manner, with a whisper-soft voice.

So the next time a hankering hits you, take a page out of Nara’s book: Take a deep breath, gather ALL the ingredients, and DIY.

Nara has us believing that: Yes, we can.
