History Creator / CookingChannel

* CanadaEh: Chuck Hughes, Roger Mooking, Nadia G, Laura Calder... If Food Network Canada develops a homegrown hit, odds are you'll find it here eventually.
** All of the people on the list have also made appearances in Creator/FoodNetwork, or even ''[[Series/IronChef Iron Chef America]]'' (as was the case for Chuck Hughes, Laura Calder, and Nadia G).
* CoolOldLady: The Two Fat Ladies triumphantly claim this title.

The Cooking Channel is a Scripps Networks channel (formerly known as Fine Living until 2010) that provides programming complementary to the Creator/FoodNetwork. Although some Food Network personalities (including Creator/RachaelRay, Bobby Flay, and Aida Mollenkamp) have shows on the new network, a very large portion of their programming consists of international programming, mostly British and Canadian shows as well as reruns of the original ''Series/IronChef'' (including the 2012 Japanese reboot, seen for the first time in the US) and some older Food Network programming. As of 2012, they have started to amp up more original programming with a new cast of Cooking Channel hosts.

* ActionGirl: Bal Arneson of "Spice Goddess" fame is shown to be this in her new show "Spice of Life," and this element features quite prominently in the advertising, featuring Bal going on adventures such as hiking and fishing in addition to cooking projects, thus making it a lifestyle show in addition to cooking show. The show features quite a few [[{{CrowningMomentOfAwesome}} CMOA's]] for Bal.

* HeyItsThatGuy: Debi Mazar (the actress who's a longtime friend of {{Music/Madonna}}'s and most recently of the HBO series ''{{Entourage}}'') showcases her family and her cheftastic Italian husband Gabriele Corcos in ''Extra Virgin''.

** This trope is also very much averted by NigellaLawson, who's known for her casual demeanor, playfulness, and rather [[{{FoodPorn}} sensuous way of talking about food.]]

** Laura Calder, so very, very much, and definitely NigellaLawson.

* ClumsyCopyrightCensorship: Their re-runs of the original ''Iron Chef'' have replaced the theme song, originally part of the ''{{Backdraft}}'' score.

* {{Adorkable}}: Lisa Lillien. Chuck Hughes has also had a rapid rise in popularity thanks to his being Adorkable. Nadia G also counts. And we certainly can't forget Ching-He Huang, who is utterly Adorkable and also a GenkiGirl.

* GenkiGirl: Giada on ''Everyday Italian'', Rachel Ray on ''Rachel Ray's Week in a Day'', and of course, Nadia G of ''BitchinKitchen''. Ching-He Huang also leans towards this at times: when she's excited about something, she tends to get ''really'' excited. Kelsey Nixon isn't quite genki, but she's still very bubbly.

* XMeetsY:
** ''Chuck's Day Off'' -- Chuck Hughes looks a lot like Tyler Florence with tattoos, and his show is pretty much ''The Naked Chef'' in Montreal.
** Reality Documentary meets CookingShow for ''Extra Virgin''.
** CookingShow meets sketch comedy show for ''Nadia G's Bitchin' Kitchen''.

** GiadaDeLaurentiis is absolutely another relevant example of this trope as well, now that reruns of ''Everyday Italian'' have started airing on Cooking Channel.

* RecycledInSPACE: Basically, take Paula Deen's recipes, and put a healthier twist. You basically get Bobby Deen's ''Not My Mama's Meals''.

** ''Unique Eats'' and ''Unique Sweets'' are CookingChannel equivalents of Creator/FoodNetwork's ''The Best Thing I Ever Ate/Made''.
