Awkwafina, a well-known American actor and comedian, is hosting a new TV show called 'Awkwafina: The Unlikely Cook' on Apple TV. In this show, she learns about cooking and how making food can connect people to family, culture, and their community. The programme follows Awkwafina as she tries new recipes and finds out more about her own food history.

Awkwafina started to think about cooking when she made soup while she was feeling sick. Making the soup reminded her of the food she ate as a child and the people who prepared it for her. This small experience helped her become interested in learning more about the dishes from her family and her background.

In the show, Awkwafina meets many Asian American chefs and experts who share their knowledge and family recipes. Because of this, she discovers that cooking is not just about food—it is also about family memories and cultural traditions. The series helps Awkwafina, and others, learn more about where they come from through food.
