Cooking Channel is an American cable channel owned by Scripps Networks Interactive. The channel is a spin-off of Food Network, broadcasting programming related to food and cooking. As opposed to its parent network's growing focus on reality and competition series, Cooking Channel is oriented towards insructional and chef-oriented programming—which have been largely displaced by the growth of Food Network's reality programming. The network airs both new series, and archived programming from Food Network. Cooking Channel replaced Fine Living Network on May 31, 2010 (coinciding with the Memorial Day holiday), pushed ahead from a planned launch later in the year.
As of February 2015, Cooking Channel is available to approximately 61,951,000 pay television households (53.2% of households with television) in the United States.
Food Network stars Emeril Lagasse, Rachael Ray and Bobby Flay were among the first to air new programs on the channel, including Emeril's Fresh Food Fast, Week In a Day, and Brunch @ Bobby's.
Original programming included the Mo Rocca-hosted food education program Food(ography) and the combination reality TV series and cooking show Extra Virgin, featuring slice-of-life footage of actress Debi Mazar, her Italian chef husband Gabriele Cocoros, their two children, and assorted friends and family members. The weekly series Robert Earl's Be My Guest, which premiered in September 2014, features entrepreneur and restaurateur Robert Earl as he goes behind the velvet rope to share the best-of-the-best dining secrets and destinations. During February 2015, a new show, Unwrapped 2.0 (a remake of the original Unwrapped) began airing. Since September 2014 actress Haylie Duff presents Real Girl's Kitchen and Haylie's America.
