Sofia Vergara and her son Manolo Gonzalez Vergara will soon be a part of a celebrity cooking show entertaining audiences, such as Selena Gomez's "Selena + Chef" and Paris Hilton's "Cooking with Paris."

The "America's Got Talent" judge will be the executive producer of a new cooking show titled "Celebrity Family Cook Off" that will be shown on the Roku Channel.

The title is just a working title for Sofia's upcoming cooking show, which will be hosted by her son Manolo Gonzalez, according to Remezcla.

In a statement, Manolo Gonzalez said they are excited to be teaming up with Roku to "bring you a fun, new cooking competition." He added that working together as a family is great and even better when "doing it in the spirit of giving back."

The Roku Channel has a record of providing space for cooking shows before. It produced series such as "The Great American Baking Show," "Morimoto's Sushi Master," "Martha Cooks," and "Emeril Tailgates."
