LOS ANGELES, May 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, independent media company Tastemade premieres its newest original series, Kitchen Glow Up, hosted by professional designer, cook, and founder & chief brand officer of Hedley & Bennett, Ellen Marie Bennett. The series marks Bennett's first-ever debut on streaming TV. Throughout the eight-episode series, Bennett will emphasize function to help homeowners reimagine their kitchens and ultimately transform them into beautifully designed spaces fit for a chef. The first two episodes double premiere on May 28th at 7:00PM on the Tastemade streaming channel. Kitchen Glow Up is produced by Intuitive Content, the production company founded by Andrew Zimmern.

With functionality at its core, each episode introduces viewers to a homeowner facing a unique challenge with their kitchen, from needing to effectively feed a growing family to cleaning out an overflowing, cluttered space. Bennett uses her expert kitchen skills to assess how the homeowners currently work in their space and begins her impeccable transformation, all while prioritizing the emotional connections homeowners have to their kitchens, leading to a must-see final reveal in every episode. Bennett also offers unique tips along the way for viewers to give their own kitchens a glow-up without breaking the bank, allowing the essence of the show to transcend beyond the screen.

"Kitchen Glow Up is the ultimate renovation series for the true heart of the home," says Jay Holzer, Tastemade's Head of Programming. "We are longtime collaborators and fans of Ellen, and knew that her infectious energy and ability to connect with homeowners on an emotional level would result in spaces that are perfect for both their lifestyle and budgets – and also inspire viewers at home!"

"Every home cook deserves a kitchen that not only looks good, but also works with comfort and ease that truly suits their lifestyle," says Bennett. "I loved getting to know these amazing families and helping them bring their spaces to life in new and functional ways that meet their unique needs. Launching my first-ever streaming TV series is a major milestone in my career and I'm thrilled to partner with Tastemade to start this next chapter."

"I met Ellen Bennett more than a decade ago, and I knew right away that she was going to be a very big star; a success at anything she set her mind to," adds Andrew Zimmern, award-winning chef and chairman of Intuitive Content.
