Global superstar Selena Gomez is stepping out of her home kitchen and into some of LA’s hottest restaurants in Selena + Restaurant, premiering on Thursday, 31 October, on Food Network Africa. This time, she’s trading casual cooking for the real deal, with best friend Raquelle Stevens by her side as she takes on professional kitchens and puts her cooking skills to the ultimate test.
Across six episodes, top chefs like Shirley Chung, Keith Corbin, Stephanie Izard, Andrew and Michelle Muñoz, Wolfgang Puck, and Marcel Vigneron will challenge Selena to see how quickly she can level up. Each week, she’ll be tasked with mastering a signature dish and then putting her spin on it with the goal of earning a spot on the restaurant’s menu. The chefs will also share stories about a cause close to their hearts, and every episode will spotlight a charity, with donations made to each organisation.
“I’ve spent the last few years cooking virtually with some of the best chefs,” Gomez says. “Now, I’m finally stepping into their world – and you’ll have to watch to see if I’m up to the challenge!”
