A Hong Kong adult channel is set to debut a cooking show headlined by a nude host who will prepare Cantonese dishes wearing a transparent apron an apparent bid to encourage more men to cook.
Host Flora Cheung will start each 30-minute show shopping for fresh ingredients in the city's famous wet markets, undressing once she is back in the privacy of her studio kitchen, the local media reported.
Cheng believes the risque format of the show will draw more men into the kitchen
Cheung, who admits she has never worked in a restaurant kitchen, said she hopes the risque show will draw more men into the kitchen. The first episode is set to air later this month.
Spreading joy
"I have always liked cooking and I thought I should share (the) enjoyment with more people,"u00a0 said the 26-year-old.
"Most men don't like to cook, but I want to get them interested... From shopping to cooking it's the whole shebang," Cheung added.
The host promised that her tailor-made, transparent apron won't leave much to the imagination. "It covers pretty much everything but hides nothing," she was quoted as saying.
Producer Jesse Au told the paper that the show may spawn similar offerings with nude hosts cooking up a
range of Asian cuisines: "This could be an endless series if it proves popular."
