Synopsis:

Selena + Chef was born out of the pandemic lockdown and our host, Selena Gomez’s, desire to use that time productively for herself and to help others. The result is a fun, engaging and informative cooking series filmed entirely with remote cameras and set up in Selena’s home kitchen with the world’s top chefs video conferencing in from their own. Despite their physical distance, the format allows Selena and the chef to connect sincerely and without pretense, which is unique within the world of cooking shows. Mistakes are made, food is burnt, and more than a few bandages are needed! While Selena + Chef is a fun and lighthearted show, it is also mission driven and consistently highlights organizations that are doing important work. To date, the series has raised more than $400,000 for 26 different non-profit organizations. Season four of Selena + Chef delivered entertaining and substantive content and allows the viewer to connect with Selena as well impactful figures in the food world.
