Noah, known as @Goodboy.noah or “Ayo Cheetah” to his 1.7M TikTok fans, is teaching people how to cook through his singing cheetah puppet known as ”Cheetah,” of course.

With over 19.1 million likes on TikTok, these foodies are showing the world that anyone can cook — even a rudimentary puppet.

The short clips, typically less than a minute, feature the duo, Cheetah and Noah, singing along to an original song created by the influencer himself.

Although a puppet, Cheetah maintains excellent cooking skills, according to the popular videos, and can cook meals ranging from steak to homemade pasta.

With catchy lyrics and a smooth beat, Cheetah and Noah’s recipes are surprisingly easy to follow despite the videos lasting only a few short seconds.

“Did I just learn how to cook,” one TikTok users says.

Another comment said, “Best foodtok I ever seen,” in response to the popular “steaktok” video, “hands down.”

However, Cheetah isn’t the only puppet taking TikTok by storm.

TikToker @the.shark.puppet found fame on the social platform in May 2019. The shark puppet, which only shouts the word, “yeah,” or screeches, has garnered an impressive 6.1 million followers.

Regardless of the simplicity of their content, the rubber hand puppet has grossed over 68.3 million likes during its time on TikTok.

Are puppets destined to overthrow TikTok? Probably not. But, Noah and Cheetah deserve the hype, and whether you’re a beginner chef or a trained professional, these easy-to-follow recipes are as entertaining as they are tasty.

What has TikTok taught you lately? I personally love, maybe because I’m a terrible cook, following easy recipes that I find off of social media. Even though I might not be the best chef, I often notice that the video coupled with the recipes make it even simpler to follow along. Let me know in the comments!
