Blending credible cooking with high-energy entertainment, Food Network, one of the most popular channels on US television, is now available in HD across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, following the launch of a dedicated UK channel in November 2009.

The channel’s exciting mix of programming features primetime entertainment favourites Iron Chef America, Chopped, and Food Network Challenge, alongside daytime shows hosted by new and established talent, including Barefoot Contessa with Ina Garten, Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives with Guy Fieri, and 30 Minute Meals with US celebrity chef Rachael Ray.

Food Network is owned by Scripps Networks Interactive, which develops lifestyle-orientated content for television, internet, and Chello Zone.
