The 21-year-old senior had long been encouraged by family and friends to share her culinary chops on YouTube or through a cookbook, Popsugar reports, but the time felt right to get creative on TikTok during the pandemic.

To get cooking, the cinephile will first look to lessons she’s learned in school.
"I'll usually start with the film and we'll look at production design basics. I'll consider the color palette of the movie overall, what colors the designers are using, the directors are using, what they're referencing and we look at major props and visual elements,” Kaye explained. “Then, we look at famous food."
