Selena turns bumbling chef in her new show
Selena Gomez’s muchawaited cooking show will see the singer-actor put her culinary skills to test, albeit with some professional help.
According to CNN, Selena + Chef was filmed amid the pandemic, and experts from the field via video chat, helped, and guided Gomez from their own kitchens.
Since the shooting was done amid the lockdown, the production had several precautions in place, including remote cameras inside the Lose You To Love Me singer’s home, according to executive producer
Aaron Saidman.
“There was something... special about the fact that Selena was still kind of on her own, having to fumble her way through and figure things out, even though she had an expert professional helping her out,” read Saidman’s statement.
In the official trailer of the cooking show, Gomez, who has starred in the popular TV series Wizards of Waverly Place as well as films such Another Cinderella Story (2008), admitted that she loves to eat a lot, but is not the best chef.
In the one-minute and 43second long video, the 28year-old had her own share of hits and flops as she tackled ways to make dishes. The 10episode series will see the musician seeking help from top chefs such as Antonia Lofaso, Ludo Lefebvre, Roy Choi, among others.
