You know Selena Gomez loves to experiment in the kitchen based on her series Selena + Chef—and now with Food Network, the singer's new show Selena + Restaurant will see her testing her culinary skills not in the comfort of her home but in restaurant kitchens.
After four seasons of Selena + Chef, which entails Gomez inviting chefs over (often virtually) to help her with new recipes and cooking techniques, it's not surprising she's joining the Food Network cohort with this revamped concept. And she plans to take her culinary adventures to the next level.
Viewers will watch Gomez visit six different restaurants and attempt to create a dish delicious enough to have it added to the official menu. Experienced chefs from each spot will guide her in learning the restaurant’s menu (and some new cooking tricks) before she has the opportunity to have one of her own recipes featured.
“After cooking mostly virtually from my kitchen with some of the best chefs for the last four years, I was thrilled to step into their world,” Gomez said in a Food Network announcement. “You’ll have to see if being in person helped my skills at all.”
Joined by friend Raquelle Stevens, Gomez will first visit Chef Wolfgang Puck in the debut episode, where she'll master one of his classic dishes before making her take on a spicy seafood dish. Then she heads to Los Angeles to make dumplings at restaurant Ms Chi.
Each episode stars a different restaurant and chef as Gomez hones her culinary skills: Excursions include Hollywood hotspot Lemon Grove with Chef Marcel Vigneron; Texas BBQ at Moo’s Craft Barbecue with Andrew and Michelle Munoz; a visit with Chef Stephanie Izard at her restaurant Girl & the Goat, and a stop at California soul food

If you love something, make it flat—that’s how the saying goes, right? When it comes to flat croissants, at least, that’s definitely the case. We all know (and love) the classic flaky croissant, but bakeries and home chefs have taken the pastry to new heights (or lows?) by flattening it and frying it to make it even crispier.

Many of you may be familiar with our native fringetree, Chionanthus virginicus, often called Grancy graybeard, granddaddy graybeard or old man’s beard. It is a wonderful small tree that grows throughout the state but is certainly not a common site. It begins blooming in late March with airy, off-white flowers.
When you think of yellow hues, do you think of flowering plants in the early days of spring, like yellow archangel, golden chain tree, hybrid witch hazel, forsythia, and yellow bird magnolia? Does it remind you of spring, as daffodils begin reaching through the sidewalk cracks? Does it remind you of summer, when you can finally start harvesting your yellow pear tomatoes and Irish gold tomatoes, and when lemon trees start blooming?
