We can’t stop watching stars flex their culinary skills (or lack thereof) on social media. From superstars like  Shakira  and  Camila Cabello  learning to whip up delicious treats to pro  Chrissy Teigen  - who we’re just going to start calling Chefy - making our mouths water, each mini cooking show is more entertaining than the next. So, pull up a plate and get ready to smile and salivate!

Rice \'n shine!

The Lip Sync Battle star, who actually did go to cooking school, has also been making our mouths water with photos like this, sharing recipes as her bio link.

“I was waiting to post this because I wanted to see some of your feedback on it, but you LOVE it, so yay!!” she captioned. “This rice pudding is super easy to make with what you have (use what you do!) and stores very well for breakfast all week! I used chocolate shavings and orange zest on one, but brown sugar and cinnamon was my winner and strawberries and a drizzle of condensed milk. Because nothing matters anymore.”

Teigen\'s Tips

Kitchen Kween Chrissy Teigen shared a sweet family baking moment as her most recent foodstagram.

“We do less then the full amount of cereal and add peanut butter chips,” she advised when making rice krispies. “Also make sure to fold in mini marshmallows that aren’t melted at the end. And don’t press into the pan! We want gooey, stretchy pieces.”

It takes two

Shakira shared her first attempt at baking homemade brownies with the world. “I'm making brownies, don't expect me to be at my best after so many days in quarantine,” she narrated on Instagram Story. “It is a recipe from my cousin's wife and it is the first time I do this.” Well, it wasn’t the last time, as the star had to do a second batch, after the first “did not look good.” She joked: “I was wrong about the oven.” Luckily, her second batch was better!

I mean you have to try everything, right?

Captain Crouton

Natalie Portman treated fans to a delicious recipe to raise awareness for causes like Save the Children.

“Thank you @chefjoseandres and @wckitchen for distributing nutritious meals to children who rely on their schools for food,” she wrote. “To show my support, I wanted to share one of my favorite meals with you all: leeks and homemade croutons.

Recipe:

1. Trim the tops and roots off the leeks and wash well.

2. Add trimmed and washed leeks to a pot of boiling water and add salt.

5. For vinaigrette mix olive oil, red wine vinegar, grain mustard, and salt.

6. When the leeks are ready, top with croutons and homemade dressing.”
