Selena welcomes us into her new place - where she's quarantined with her Nana, Papa, and best friends Liz and Raquelle - as she improves her nonexistent cooking skills with the help of legendary French chef and restaurateur Ludo Lefevbre. While Selena's housemates act as sous-chefs, Ludo's wife Krissy steps in as videographer and translator extraordinaire. Selena's at her house, Ludo's at his, and they're attempting to make a French omelet and cheese souffle, together (apart).
Using her signature feel-good cooking style, executive chef and cookbook author Antonia Lofaso helps Selena whip up her first seafood tostada - and while Selena's a shrimp-peeling natural, she and the octopus may have...creative differences. As Liz and Raquelle cheer her on from the sidelines, Selena musters up the courage to face the tentacles.
Golden girl of wellness Candice Kumai heats up Selena's kitchen with her Japanese grandmother's special spicy miso ramen recipe, infused with a health-forward California twist. Next, while they talk girl power, boys, and finding love in quarantine, Selena tries not to burn dessert: matcha chocolate chip cookies. Yum!
Selena teams up with the godfather of the modern food truck movement, Roy Choi, to make some dangerously delicious Korean BBQ breakfast tacos and Hawaiian malasadas. As Roy masterfully incorporates Selena's suggestions into his recipes in real-time, a surprise guest pops in to cheer Chef Gomez on. Let's just hope our girl doesn't get distracted by the cute boy on her line.
Selena bows down to two iconic chefs who've been behind many, many dinners in her life: restaurateurs, authors, and BFFs Jon and Vinny. Together, they attempt to make roasted chicken with cilantro sauce and a tomato bruschetta appetizer - but will the chicken's grimy inside bits make this a recipe for disaster for Selena?
The great Nancy Silverton helps Selena craft an ambitious vegetable buffet - but before Selena and her friends can dig into the stunning multicolor bounty, a series of hilarious technical difficulties brings Selena's kitchen to its knees. Will dinner be served? TBD.
