Selena Gomez has admitted she was a ‘complete disaster’ in the kitchen before starring on the cooking show, Selena + Chef.
The show, which began filming during the Covid-19 pandemic, sees the singer try her hand at various dishes with the help of a professional chef.
Following the release of the fourth season this month, Gomez said People that the show has helped her feel more comfortable in the kitchen.
“The first season I was a complete disaster and I don’t want to say I still don’t have my moments, but I’ve come a long way,” Gomez said.
Selena + Chef saw Gomez learn from Jamie Oliver, Ayesha Curry, Gordon Ramsay and Kristen Kish.
She said her greatest benefit from chefs has been the confidence to walk away from a recipe. “You don’t have to follow a recipe exactly,” she said. “Experience it.”
The Only murders in the building The Rare Beauty star and founder said while she now rates her cooking skills a “five out of 10”, she doesn’t get a lot of opportunities to put them to use due to her busy schedule.
“I wish I had more time to cook, but with work it’s not always easy,” Gomez said.
“I love when I get the chance to cook for my friends and family. I’ve revisited many of the dishes I’ve made on the show.
Last month, Gomez revealed she would be content to quit her acting career once she started a family.
Speaking on TaTaTu’s video podcast, Giving back to the generationof her future plans, Gomez said, “I hope to be married and be a mom.
“Eventually, I will be tired of all this. So I’m probably going to devote most of my life to philanthropy before I make peace… Stay realistic.
