This food influencer has gone viral again for her dead-on self-parody – but not everyone is impressed
Whether it’s because of her outlandish fashion, her unconventional children’s names or, in this case, her very literal commitment to homemade cooking you may just have heard of influencer Nara Smith.
Here’s a typical example of her very… involved cooking videos:
@naraazizasmith who doesn’t love bubble gum! #easyrecipes #homecooking #candy #bubblegum #fypツ ♬ O mio babbino caro (Gianni Schicchi:Puccini:Adami) – AllMusicGallery
The new Nigella Lawson. Well, we admire her commitment, but viewers have noticed that it takes rather a while for Nara to make treats for her family, prompting a slew of pitch-perfect parodies.

You get the picture. Anyway, this time Nara Smith has shot back with a brilliantly self-aware bit of product placement, which cashes in on her often ridiculed home-grown image.

Although some have been pointing out the strong resemblance between her advert and that of fellow TikTok user marykorlindowns, who advertised the same Marc Jacobs product in her own post last year:
