Melanie McFarland Salon.com 08/24/2020
Gomez's series isn't necessarily a cooking tutorial (although you can pick up a few tips!) as much as it's a cathartic and lighthearted comedy gently inviting the audience to relate to the daunting task of learning something new. Go to Full Review
Daniel D'Addario Variety 08/13/2020
A show about what we're living through. Not merely is Gomez forcing herself through a challenging mission, learning to cook, she's also doing so while learning to show us aspects of herself she'd resisted giving up thus far. Go to Full Review

Mark my words, Gomez's knives will probably have their own Instagram account before quarantine ends. Go to Full Review

3/5
