Paris Hilton is bringing her culinary skills, or lack thereof, to Netflix.
In her new six-episode series on the streaming giant, Cooking With Paris, the hotel heiress will fumble her away around the kitchen to produce gourmet dishes and lean into her newly domesticated side. Longtime fans of The Simple Life celebrity socialite can’t help but remember her former foray into culinary where she infamously cooked bacon with an iron. However, it seems like Netflix is well aware of Hilton’s ineptitudes as it fittingly dubs it “the traditional cooking show upside down.” The series is slated to premiere August 4.
The business mogul’s ability to garner a massive audience in spite of her previous fails has already been proven in her YouTube video of the same name, which skyrocketed to virality in January 2020. Who would’ve thought making at-home lasagna would reach over 5 millions views to date?
And while the 40-year-old is hopefully veering away from cooking on home appliances, she’ll be immersing herself into learning how to sauté, sear and zest with the help of her celebrity circle. We have no clue what A-list stars are headed on-screen with her (although, we’d die for an amicable reunion with Nicole Richie) but we do know that they’ll be using “exotic kitchen appliances” along with their new recipes. Even though it is ill-advised to teach a novice cook new recipes, we’re sure the queen of noughties’ fashion will deliver us enough glamour to hold our attention.
In 2020, Hilton released a documentary titled This Is Paris, detailing her life behind the veil of being America’s “original influencer.” Premiering on YouTube Originals, the doc recounted her experience with childhood abuse, the aftermath of the incessant surveillance from the tabloids, and ultimately her ascension to both fame and her seemingly higher purpose.
Up next for the star are wedding bells and Peacock will be documenting her road to marrying venture capitalist Carter Reum in a forthcoming series. Tentatively titled Paris in Love, Hilton will executive produce the 13-episode series as she prepares to tie the knot.
