Selena + Chef: Home for the Holidays

It's a surf-and-turf Christmas Eve as Chef Michael Symon joins Selena Gomez in the kitchen. They bond over a shared struggle before tackling a menu that includes giant juicy Smoked and Reverse-Seared Steaks and luxurious Lobster with Homemade Pasta. Raquelle assists by eating as much cheese as she grates, while a Escarole Salad with Anchovy Vinaigrette and Croutons challenges Selena to overcome a mental block.

Selena Gomez and Chef Claudette Zepeda prepare a Mexican feast for the holidays. Claudette takes Selena back to her roots by making the traditional Latin Christmas dish of Tamales with a spicy pork filling. As they cook, Claudette teaches Selena and Raquelle some "kitchen yoga" to help them get through the rest of the festive menu of Roast Ham with Salsa Matcha, Charred Poblano Rice and a uniquely Mexican twist on a historic salad.

Selena Gomez rings in the new year with the help of Chef Eric Adjepong, who brings his bold eclectic flavors to a New Year's Day brunch. Selena's skills are put to the test as she tackles Shrimp and Banana Grits, Scallop Benedict and Kusshi Oysters with Champagne Mignonette. Her friend Raquelle suggests a New Year's tradition that ends with plates shattered across Selena's front porch. The brunch is topped off with one of Chef Eric's all-time favorite desserts, the deliciously sweet and fruity Malva Pudding.
