He's leaving the studio behind and heading to the kitchen. Hip-hop icon, accomplished actor and successful restaurateur Ludacris is passionate about food – but he knows he “can’t cook a lick.”

In the one-hour discovery+ special, Luda Can't Cook, he gets schooled in the kitchen by James Beard Award-nominated Chef Meherwan Irani to up his culinary game with international flavors and techniques. Indian cuisine is one of his favorites and Chef Meherwan gives him a master class in the foundations, from layering spices to frying and braising and making curry. Then in a test of his newly acquired culinary skills, he cooks and serves a menu of Indian dishes Ludacris-style to a room of VIPS, including his mom Roberta.

Luda Can’t Cook begins streaming on February 25th, exclusively on discovery+.
