For those tired of making the same old recipes during COVID-19 confinement at home, help is on the way from Amy Schumer and her professional chef husband, Chris Fischer. The pair is teaming up with Netflix for a self-shot series tentatively titled “Amy Schumer Learns to Cook,” which will give a behind-the-scenes look at their lives while giving how-to lessons in making brunch, pastas tacos, cocktails and more.
“Amy’s boundless humor and Chris’ culinary skills show viewers how they navigate life while at home making the best of these turbulent times with some good laughs and good food,” Food Network president Courtney White said in a statement.
“Chris and I are excited to make this project with Food Network combining our two passions – for Chris it’s cooking and for me, eating,” Schumer said. “With everything going on in the world right now, we are so grateful to be able to share an entertaining and informative experience with viewers. And it is more important than ever to look out for one another, so Chris and I will be making donations to causes dear to us – The Coalition of Immokalee Workers’ Fair Food Program and select domestic violence organizations.”
Production begins this week on the series, which will premiere later this spring.
