'I Was Laid Off in March, Now I'm Making Money As A Tik Tok Cooking Star'
In March this year when I was faced with being laid off, I had to reconsider everything. Like many in the hospitality industry, I was dealt a crushing blow. Just before the U.K. government announced their furlough scheme, my employer made huge layoffs and many of us lost our jobs. I went from being part of the management team to being unemployed.Something that has been recurring in my time as a chef is the sacrifice that you're simply expected to make.
I started with a few easy recipes: churros, fries and a tomato sauce. A few people would"like" and comment—which was initially a surprise as I hadn't been sure that anyone would be interested. The first comment of note that actually made me proud of what I was doing came from an National Health Service worker here in the U.K. who said they had enjoyed my tomato sauce, and that it had helped make a simple dinner for their family after a long shift.
Now in October, I have reached 100,000 followers, had more than 1.2 million"likes" and over 10 million views on my channel. I've been approached by a number of brands who have offered paid advertising deals for me to feature their products. I've worked with a number of businesses offering corporate cook-a-longs to help keep teams having fun together even over Zoom.
