When the world is facing covid-19 and everything is going absolutely ballistic on a global scale.
This is the show the absolutely veg out and not have to put tour thinking cap on whatsoever.
It's perfect for winding down, having a laugh and seeing Paris Vs Food.
It's not clever by any stretch, but works for those moments you just want to shut yourself brain off.

In case you forgot the Hilton's are rich and you're poor, just tune into "Cooking with Paris", and watch the star attempt to cook while wearing evening gowns. The extravagant decorations and expensive food just pushed this over the top.

I don't follow reality tv or celebrity life much. I don't even know most of the celebrities on here. So I watched this show just like any other show: They're all strangers to me. I don't really care basically. I'm here for the content and not the person.
If you have some bias for Paris or Kim or Demi among others (based on some reviews here idk), or simply having a 40 year old act not so 40 then this show is most probably not for you. This is a glamour tongue-in-cheek friends day-in show. They are here to look pretty and glitzy and ditzy, the cooking is the "plot" so they have something to pretend do other than just simply sip margaritas while talking. This isn't a competition show either. No recipe or dish that will wow you. This show is more reality tv than cooking show.
So content wise... it's pretty basic borderline idiot. They give tips that are more common sense than actual tips. I'm not angry about it tbh, it's like a so bad that it's good but not great? I may have laughed at how eye rolling some are. If you want background noise that look nice you might like this. Paris as the host is just eh? Not the best as there's not much she brings to the table since she sounds a bit monotone.
Overall to summarize it's "Shallow but glittery". I personally find it a bit bland? I akin this to Tiktok where most content is just people trying to look pretty. I'm not a big reality tv fan anyway so maybe that's why I didn't get hooked. IF you're looking for smart this is not it.

It's not going to happen. I thought after Paris's whole documentary about how she was so misunderstood that she wouldn't be playing into her dumb blonde trope, yet here we are. She is still doing the baby voice and trying to be super cutesy but at 40 it's just awkward and cringey. I commend her guests for trying to be as entertaining and normal as possible in this extremely forced scenario. I would recommend this show as background noise for when you don't want to feel alone but that's about it.

Why the hell is Netflix pandering to people like Paris Hilton? With no discernible talent, this show might be quasi-reality TV, but it's just excruciating. It isn't even funny in an ironic way; the celebrities featured here have the personality of cardboard. They are the literal opposite of our aspirations for what role model should be.
Netflix could be spending money supporting actual talent; you know, by making shows with actual talented writers and actors that need the break. Instead we get this monstrosity...

Most reviews on here totally miss the point of this show and the humour. It's meant to be bad and it's done brilliantly. It's utterly wincing, tongue and cheek, binge-worthy kitschness. Paris is obviously horrendous at cooking and has no desire to be a chef. It's about shallow, glittery, sugar coated girliness, it's camp with great fashion and genuinely really funny moments. Definitely not for everyone, but if you get it, then it's worth the watch 🌸💕🍸🌷🌟💫🍒🍟🍫🍿🎂🍩
Hands down the worst thing on Netflix. I seriously logged into my account settings and thought about canceling my subscription, but my wife and kid use it too much.
There are so many talented chefs out there that a new generation finds interesting they could have gave a show; Action Bronson, Matty Matheson, Babish.. but no we have to watch a talentless rich girl winge through cooking.

I don't know where all the hate is coming from. I personally found this show really relaxing. We got so many things going on and this helped a lot for my mental health. I really wasn't a fan of Paris back in my childhood but today she is doing something she wants and decided to share it with us. I support her sharing something she enjoys and to be completely honest I enjoyed watching her as well.

What can I say about Paris other than she's hilarious! Look, she may not be everyone's cup of tea, and you may dislike her, but she's putting a hilarious spin on her cooking technique, and it's hilarious. You have to give her credit for doing a show when COVID-19 is affecting everyone's mental health. The show is definitely not scripted or is it 😆in my opinion. Paris has come up with a unique show that actually works makes you smile.
When I first saw this, i thought it would be a mockery of making food. But it isnt. Shes playing the same character from when she was in the simple life
She couldve made something worth a watch, but this is too bad.

Another classic example of how Americans don't understand irony!
If you were expecting a high quality cooking show, I understand why you might be upset. But based on the title, what did you expect?
It's fun, it's supposed to be tongue in cheek and on that level, Paris nails it. Just roll with it and have fun as well. She doesn't offend anyone and if anything you have to admire how she can take the piss out of herself so well.
This is who Paris Hilton is and what Paris Hilton does! Nothing has changed and she isn't trying to be anything else.
Don't wait until episode 3 to decide you hate it. Using words to describe food such as "tanned" and "melty" spring up pretty early so that should have been alarm bells to abort if that is going to be something you're not going to appreciate
It's playful, it's refreshing and it's inoffensive. I don't feel guilty for watching and enjoying. Why must everything be so serious all the time?

So, okay not for the die hard I want to cook like the pros viewers - not going to happen here. However, if you want something light and different, then give this a chance. I don't think it was intended to be taken seriously as a cooking show, but it is an interesting take on cooking comedy.

Oh, Paris! It was cute and funny 20 years ago but now, not so much. The girl is 40 and doesn't know what a tong is. Really? There is no way Paris is this idiotic and shallow still, is there?? I thought this would be different because it's about cooking. This could have been such a fun show but Paris had to go and Paris it up. What a snooze fest. Her kitchen etiquette is gross too.

Literally dumbing down our future generations. This is the first time I have ever written a review but I'm 5 minutes into the show an I just feel completely deflated thinking that this is what our children will watch. How can you allow yourselves to portray yourself so pathetically! Beyond sad!
Horrible cooking skills, barely knows anything about food, this is cheap entertainment and not even funny. She brings celebrity friends in an attempt to drag in viewers. The camera is 90 percent of the time just on her face.

Ignore the negative reviews. This show is a gem. I'm only 3 episodes in, and already I've laughed out loud multiple times. If this show had come out 20 years ago, when Paris was in her heyday, I would have thought it was the stupidest thing ever. Thankfully, I've matured beyond that, and can appreciate Paris for who she is, and see the entertainment value in what she does. If you've done the same, I'd strongly recommend this show. #sliving.

Silly, glittery show and mostly not about food but Paris and her friends. The cameras spend 90% of the time on Paris's face and the rest on the food she's attempting to make. Watch it for a laugh but don't expect to learn much about cooking.
We've had so much serious stuff the past 15 months that this is a refreshing giggle watch. I'm not saying she's a chef...she's not even trying to portray herself as one...she's just having some fun in her way and everyone is loving being her guest. I'm actually thinking Paris is smarter than we give her credit. Regardless, this show was fun and had me giggling. :)
ANYONE could have been better that this trash. Complete joke and someone owed a favor on this and is regretting it. Should have been left as just an idea while they were drunk at the bar.

Have this a chance, and boy do I regret it! Borrrrrinngggg ! Felt more like torture than entertainment. Tried to play the dumb role as she did on The Simple Life , but honestly needed Nicole Richie to relive the good ole days. Without her, Paris is bland and lacks energy. Wasting food back and forth. Everything is glittered up and childish. Walks around is long gowns and Birkin bags to stir cheese... which by the way was overcooked. Overall , go outside and watch the clouds before you watch this.

I watched 20 mins and I couldn't bear it any longer. It's just so so bad that I don't care how many people said this show is worth a laugh. It's not funny, not humorous, nothing to learn unless you wanna learn how to do her makeup because 90% of time is just focusing on her face and her dresses.
Out of respect to her braveness I spent 20 mins on it and mustn't waste more time of my life like this.

Is Paris really this dumb, I hope for her sake it's an act, either way it's too painful to watch, unhealthy bad cooking, not funny, sad and a complete waste of time.

This is such a throw back to the early 2000's with a hint of satire on the standard cooking show. You can't take any of this seriously esp after her documentary. The only thing missing is Nicole Richie.
So I'm assuming this was Netflix's attempt at ripping off HBO Max's Selena + Chef which is a great show and with a good cause. I watched this simply because I like cooking shows and thought it'd be goofy and funny; however, only a few parts were. Most of it was her continuing her bimbo persona and it's not cute at all anymore, bragging to her friends, barely any actual cooking, e.t.c. Funny thing is, she accidentally drops her baby voice a few times. Not worth finishing or a second season. You can however, make a good drinking game... 1) anytime she talks about Ibiza, 2) lets her real voice slip, 3) brags, 4) does something gross/ makes a mess. The possibilities are truly endless.
