Kelis: My life in five dishes

BBC World Service - The Food Chain, Kelis: My life in five dishes

Meet pop sensation turned Cordon Bleu-trained chef, Kelis Rogers

Meet pop sensation turned Cordon Bleu-trained chef, Kelis Rogers.

We sit down with one of R&B’s most eccentric and compelling artists, Kelis. Over the past 20 years she has produced era-defining hits like Milkshake, Caught Out There and Trick Me, and sold millions of records. So why did she decide to step away from the mic and into the chef's whites at the Cordon Bleu academy? Kelis tells Emily Thomas all about her passion for food and her latest plans to open a farm-to-table restaurant. We hear how she has struggled to make the culinary world take her seriously, and why she thinks it’s ‘all about the sauce’.

This programme was first broadcast on the 24th May 2018.
