Kelis is getting into her TV bag.
The “Milkshake” singer announced a brand-new Netflix cooking competition show called Cooked with Cannabis.
The six-episode program, hosted by Kelis and Portland-based chef Leather Storrs, will feature professional chefs cooking cannabis-themed delicacies.
Each episode will feature three professional chefs, wake and baking to the tune of $10,000, who must work against the clock to prepare a three-course meal that ranges from world cuisines to futurist fare.
I’m really excited to announce my new show, Cooked with Cannabis on @Netflix!! As a chef, I was intrigued by the food + as an everyday person, I was interested in how powerful this topic is in today’s society. I hope you all will tune in, it’ll be a good time! We launch on 4/20! pic.twitter.com/zLzOvsTAO8

’Kelis and Storrs will also be joined by an ever-changing eclectic group of dinner guests. This season’s guests range from actress Ricki Lake to rappers Too $hort and El-P.
Kelis mentions that the experience is more powerful than she could have ever imagined. “It moved your heart in ways you didn’t expect it to because it is so culturally important,” she told Food & Wine.
She continued, “In this country, there are so many things that have been used systematically to oppress groups of people… People’s lives have been affected in a really positive and negative way, and how do we take some control back?”
Cooked with Cannabis, hosted by Kelis and Leather Storrs, premieres on Netflix on April 20.
