Cooking Channel

Cooking Channel is a television specialty channel that airs recurring (episodic) programs about food and cooking, owned by Scripps Networks Interactive. It is a spinoff (in essence) of Food Network, which is jointly owned by SNI and Tribune, but focuses more on instructional shows rather than "reality style" and contest programming that Food Network is now geared towards.

Cooking Channel replaced Fine Living Network (also known as FLN) on May 31, 2010. The original plan was to implement the change in the fall of 2010, but it was later announced that the switch was being moved up to coincide with Memorial Day in the USA. Cooking Channel launched a high-definition feed on June 30, 2010. The channel also has content available via Video on demand.

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.

Programming

Original shows

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.

John Thorne (writer)

John Thorne is a culinary writer born in Quincy, Massachusetts, who has written a number of best-selling books on gastronomy. A graduate of Amherst College, he began to teach himself to cook frugally while living briefly in New York City's Lower East Side, where he sought to become a writer of some sort as a young man during the 1960s.

By the early 1970s, he was a teacher for several years at Stockbridge School, a progressive New England boarding school that became defunct in 1976. Following this period, Thorne lived in Boston for a number of years, where he self-published a number of culinary pamphlets reviewed at the time by The New York Times, which in 1983 grew into his ongoing newsletter, "Simple Cooking".

In the middle 1980s, Thorne moved to coastal Maine to devote himself exclusively to food writing, and where he became associated with Matt Lewis, who later shared a byline for a number of his books and his newsletter. During the 1990s, the couple moved to Northampton, Mass., where they remained as of 2010.
