CULVER CITY, California - January 17, 2024 - Today, Amazon MGM Studios and Tastemade announced a first-look deal to produce exciting unscripted lifestyle content. As part of the partnership, Amazon MGM Studios and Tastemade will bring 15 new shows to Prime Video and Amazon Freevee audiences over the next few years.

Dish It Out will be the first unscripted series on the roster, hosted by TV personality, chef, and social media content creator Matilda "Tilly" Ramsay - also the daughter of multi-Michelin-starred chef Gordon Ramsay. In each episode, Tilly, a passionate food lover with an adventurous palette, will receive a mystery box of goods from various chefs and home cooks around the world, piecing together the items in each box to create a globally inspired dish.
