In an Instagram photo where Gomez happily shows off her macaroni and cheese, she wrote, "Trying to take a cute/serious photo of me cooking but then felt embarrassed so I'm using the candid where I look so happy but I feel kinda cheesy." She also shared a list of media she was consuming to beat the quarantine blues!

Gomez opened up to People magazine last year about her experience with becoming more comfortable with her work in the kitchen while filming "Selena + Chef."

"Season one, I was a complete disaster," she told the outlet about her kitchen skills, "and not to say I still don't have my moments, but I've come a long way." Gomez isn't shy about sharing her recipes with viewers; the recipes from the show are readily available for fans to try via HBO Max's official page for "Selena + Chef."
