In this article, you will discover celebrities who once hosted a cooking show and how badly or how great they performed. From singers to actors and supermodels, this article will reveal stars who had fun with cooking shows. Let’s get started.
1. Amy Schumer
The good thing about having a professional chef as a husband is that you can make a cooking show by just filming him cooking.
Amy and her husband, Chris, made a show in 2020 that aired on Food Network. They named it “Amy Schumer Learns to Cook”. It was a beautiful show, filled with pure love and good food.
2. Stanley Tucci
This show was a documentary of the famous The Devil Wears Prada star traveling through Italy, learning about Italian cuisine and how to make dishes.
For the most part, he was eating the food he made. The show was fun to watch, as you could feel his excitement. He named the show “Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy,” and it made sense! What better way to enjoy touring Italy than eating local Italian food?
3. Trisha Yearwood
Trisha’s Southern Kitchen was bougie, and anyone who heard about it wanted to watch. Just as the name implies, the show was about Southern dishes. The American singer hosted the show and even had a cookbook.
Trisha earned an Emmy for a show where all she did was whip up all her favorite home-style dishes and touch on a few classics. The show aired on Food Network in 2012.
4. Selena Gomez
Who knew Selena would love to be anywhere else than the studio? We probably found out at the same time, and she did it with style in her HBO Max cooking show Selena+Chef.
The show featured celebrity and professional chefs teaching Selena how to cook. She learned from Jamie Oliver and Richard Blais, who are simply the best of the best.
5. Jourdan Dunn
In this show, food met beauty and fashion. Jourdan is a supermodel and hosted food shows on Jay-Z's YouTube Channel, Life+Times. Sadly, the channel is now defunct, so you can’t watch the episodes anymore.
Jourdan brought her supermodel friends to the show as special guests, and they had fun as she hosted. The name of the show was “Well Dunn With Jordan Dunn”. The play upon words gave the show extra points.
6. Brian Boitano
The person who named the show “What Would Brian Boitano Make” won the viewers over because they were as curious as the name suggested.
The Olympic skating star decided to have a moment in the kitchen and whipped up easy but interesting dishes on screen. Each episode ended with a dinner party with his friends or relatives who tried out what he made. It was a beautiful bonding time for them and even more beautiful to watch.
7. Paris Hilton
Paris Hilton decided to expand her repertoire by making dishes while following new recipes and thought, why not make it a show? Netflix made her dream come true by airing her “Cooking with Paris” show.
The show was interesting to watch, and it was fun seeing her enjoy her homemade meals with her famous friends at the themed dinners she held in every episode.
8. Valerie Bertinelli
Valerie Bertinelli had been a superstar from quite a young age and starred in many shows. Seeing her host a cooking show was as amazing as watching her do everything else she does.
As expected, she did an excellent job, and cooking on TV is now her primary business. She is now invited to do cooking segments in some morning shows. Her show “Valerie’s Home Cooking” aired on Food Network in 2015.
9. Michelle Obama
This is the show with the cutest guests ever. It wasn’t the usual cooking show, as it was for kids and kids' food, and sometimes their parents came on the show too. She taught them different aspects of dishes and how to cook.
Knowing Michelle, you wouldn’t expect anything less. It aired on Netflix with the title “Waffles+Mochis". Netflix hasn’t had a more adorable show than this.
