Adorable 1-year-old shows off his culinary skills and becomes an overnight star

Baking together as a family is a great way to bond, have fun and create lasting memories.

With most of us spending more time at home with our kids baking is the perfect activity to pass the time and offers a much-needed break from screen time or school work.

But one mom decided there was no time to lose in getting her baby boy into the kitchen and now 1-year-old Chef Kobe has over 2 million fans on Instagram.

This culinary cutey has been inspiring millions during lockdown who tune in to find out how we can all have more fun in the kitchen – in the messiest possible way.

From blueberry muffins to butter chicken and naan this adorable toddler insists on tasting every ingredient before throwing it into the mixing bowl and laughs with absolute delight at the cooking process; he’s pure joy to watch.

He’s even managed to attract some big brand names possibly making him one of the youngest Instagram influencers.

From making his adorable baby noises while hitting the table with a wooden spoon to his puzzled expression at the noise the mixer makes, he has us all mesmerized and wishing we had this cute helper in the kitchen.

Chef Kobe’s mom, Ashley Wian told CNN, “Cooking is just one of many practical things that Kobe does at home.

“He has so much fun doing it and such a big, animated personality, I decided to record it to share originally with friends and family.”

Chef Kobe has even branched out to review take-out dinners which are rated by his facial expressions while eating.

Ashley a “Z Morning Zoo” co-host on WNVZ in Norfolk, Virginia, first posted a picture of her cute chef with his trademark hat in February and his friends and family loved it so much she continued his culinary journey with videos of him in the kitchen.

I’m glad she did as now we can all experience the joy of this talented chef in the making.

I could watch this cherub chef all day.

Please share this cute cooking toddler and his adventures in the kitchen with your friends and family and help put a smile on their faces.
