Cooking Channel adds another celebrity to its original series portfolio with the August launch of Holy & Hungry starring TV personality Sherri Shepherd.

The series, which premieres Aug. 23, will follow former The View co-host Shepherd as she travels the country to visit food establishments that share her passion for food and faith, according to network officials.

"Holy & Hungry celebrates something that people of all religions enjoy - delicious food," said Michael Smith, General Manager and Senior Vice President, Cooking Channel. "The unique lens of faith to explore food is unlike any other series on Cooking Channel, and Sherri Shepherd's appreciation and ability to relate to the faithful people spreading their love for their faith through their food, makes her the perfect host."

Shepherd follows other celebrities such as Tia Mowry, Chrissy Tiegen, Anthony Anderson and Rev. Run and other celebrities who have had cooking shows on the channel.
