Selena Gomez lands a quarantine cooking show on HBO Max

The Hollywood Reporter

The untitled 10-episode at-home cooking show will feature the recording artist and actress learning how to cook with the virtual help of a master chef. "Since social distancing at home, Selena has been spending more time in the kitchen than she ever imagined," HBO Max said in a press release. "But despite her many talents, it remains to be seen if cooking is one of them. In each episode of this unapologetically authentic cookalong, Selena will be joined remotely by a different master chef. Together, they'll tackle cuisines of every variety, share invaluable tips and tricks, and deal with everything from smoking ovens to missing ingredients. Each episode will highlight a food-related charity, and this casual, funny, and informative series will embrace both the struggle and the joy of learning to cook — while inviting audiences to follow along at home." Gomez said of her cooking show: “I’ve always been very vocal about my love of food. I think I’ve been asked hundreds of times in interviews if I had another career, what would I do and I’ve answered that it would be fun to be a chef. I definitely don’t have the formal training though! Like many of us while being home I find myself cooking more and experimenting in the kitchen."
