Like many of us, the Inside Amy Schumer and Trainwreck star took COVID quarantine as an opportunity to up her culinary game. Unlike the rest of us, Amy Schumer has been doing that on her own Food Network Show. Amy Schumer Learns to Cook premiered this May and features the comedian and her husband, Chris Fischer, teaming up in the kitchen. The family shoots the show themselves, with the occasional camera assist from their baby Gene’s nanny, Jane. For more stars with side hustles, here are 15 Actors Whose Singing Careers You Completely Forgot. Rapper and Renaissance man Snoop Dogg doesn’t just have a cooking show—he shares the table with one of the world’s foremost lifestyle gurus, Martha Stewart. Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party, which became Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Party Challenge in Season 3, has been airing on VH1 since 2016. In 2018, he even published a cookbook, titled From Crook to Cook: Platinum Recipes from Tha Boss Dogg’s Kitchen. In 2015, Saved by the Bell and Beverly Hills, 90210 star Tiffani Thiessen launched her culinary series, Dinner at Tiffani’s, on The Cooking Channel. In every episode, Thiessen prepared a meal for a group of famous friends. Guests included Lance Bass, Elizabeth Berkley, Seth Green, and Tim Meadows.

With a title inspired by South Park’s tribute song, “What Would Brian Boitano Do?” (also the show’s theme), What Would Brian Boitano Make? featured the Olympic gold medalist figure skater cooking his own recipes in his home. Like Thiessen’s, Boitano’s show—which aired on the Food Network in 2009 and 2010—also had a dinner party element. Everybody Loves Raymond actress Patricia Heaton was the host of Patricia Heaton Parties, a two-season Food Network show that aired from 2015 to 2016. For each episode, Heaton would prepare recipes to fit a specific party theme. Thanks to her cooking adventures, Heaton added an Outstanding Culinary Program Daytime Emmy to the two Primetime Emmys she’d already won for her hit sitcom.ae0fcc31ae342fd3a1346ebb1f342fcb For stars who have written out their life stories, check out 7 Must-Read Celebrity Books Coming Out This Year.
