24Kitchen is a pay television channel dedicated to culinary and food-related programming, owned by Disney Entertainment. Its broadcast footprint includes the Balkans, the Netherlands, and Portugal.
The Portuguese edition draws inspiration from the Dutch format, showcasing original productions centered on Portuguese gastronomy and featuring local chefs such as Ljubomir Stanisic and Rodrigo Meneses, both of whom participated in the Portuguese MasterChef. The daily program Prato do Dia is presented by Filipa Gomes, complemented by a selection of internationally sourced cooking shows.
History
The channel debuted in the Netherlands on 1 October 2011, launched by Fox Networks Group Benelux in partnership with Jan Dekker Holding, delivering content in HD. Prior to this, a preview channel was accessible on the UPC Netherlands platform starting one month earlier.
Following this, the Portuguese variant was introduced in 2012 by Fox Networks Group Portugal, targeting audiences in Portugal and Africa. This version combined original content with international shows and served as a blueprint for subsequent expansions into the Balkans and Turkey.
On 20 March 2019, The Walt Disney Company completed the acquisition of 21st Century Fox, which included ownership of Fox Networks Group.
Starting from 13 December 2020, select programs from 24Kitchen became available through Disney+'s Star hub across the Netherlands, Portugal, and various other regions.
The Turkish branch of the channel ceased operations on 31 July 2023 following Disney's decision to discontinue it.
