Kiara Dewrance is cooking it up. <\/div>\n

Within weeks of posting the video on the popular social media platform in September, Kiara Dewrance (25) got short of a million views and garnered more than 10 000 devoted followers who now learn from her how to make popular fast foods at home. \u201cI really felt like dunked wings, but money was tight and it was just too expensive. I scrolled through Uber Eats for nearly an hour putting it in my basket then taking it out again, putting it back, taking it out . . . I then saw chicken on special and it was a done deal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, into the kitchen it was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs a chef I can taste flavours in a dish. I played around a bit with the everyday ingredients I have in my kitchen cupboard, and voil\u00e0 my version of dunked wings proved rather easy, and I must say it tastes just like the real thing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Kiara, like most of us staving off the world-wide cost of living crisis, it is budget first when it comes to whatever she cooks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growing up in a single-mom household, she learned how to cook her favourite fast foods from scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe were lucky if we had KFC twice a year. We just could not afford it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As it turned out this skill served her well later in life. \u201cI love to cook for my family and friends and if you know what ingredients to use how, you can feed a whole family for a fraction of the price you would pay at a fast-food outlet. Most all of my content focusses on how to make nice food, fast, cheap and easy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A dark place<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After suffering a severe bout of depression after the covid lockdown, Kiara challenged herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn contradiction to my posts, I am actually a very introverted person. Being stuck alone at home trying to run my baking business put me in a bad space. Then my aunt committed suicide.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She found herself in a very dark place, desperately needing help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI received professional medical treatment and after recovering I felt I needed to do something to boost my confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
