Fans of Chrissy Teigen’s cooking will soon be able to watch her in action, as Hulu has just revealed the reality star is getting a cooking show.

On Wednesday, the streaming network announced it had teamed up with Momofuku founder and chef David Chang and Teigen for a multi-year deal to produce Hulu’s first food-focused programmes.

The content, which will be created through a partnership with Vox Media Studios, Chang’s Majordomo Media, and Teigen’s Suit and Thai Productions, will be called “Hulu Kitchen”.

One of the new shows is tentatively named Family Style, and, according to Hulu, will see the chef and cookbook author explore the ways “in which people express their love for friends and family by cooking and eating together”.

Of the new partnership, Chang said: “I'm hoping we can keep integrating new perspectives into the conversation, telling compelling stories about our culture, and trying to change people's ideas of what food television can and should do.

“I think there's an audience out there that understands and celebrates the world through food, and they're hungry for shows that feed their sense of curiosity in new ways.”

Teigen’s involvement will expand to other original programming as well, ranging from scripted dramas to talk shows, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

On social media, people are already expressing their excitement over the chef and the reality star’s newest endeavour.

“Two of my favourite people coming together for a cooking show. Praise be!” one person wrote.

Another said: “Chrissy Teigen is getting a cooking show!? Take all of my time and money now.”

Hulu Kitchen is also working on a documentary series called Eater’s Guide to the World, which would “tap into Eater’s extensive knowledge of the most interesting and delicious restaurants on the planet,” according to Hulu.
