There were different names for the show, depending on which day it aired. The Saturday morning show was called Saturday Cooks!, and the show which currently airs during the week is called Daily Cooks Challenge.

Worrall Thompson, who fronted a similar BBC One show, Saturday Kitchen defected to ITV in June 2006 after being poached from the BBC along with the production company that made the show (Prospect Pictures) in a deal negotiated by Alison Sharman. It was Ms Sharman who originally brokered the deal that brought Antony to the BBC on Saturday Kitchen in the first place, before she herself moved to ITV.

A sister programme Sunday Feast aired on Sunday mornings. The programme was cancelled due to poor ratings.

A brand new series of Daily Cooks Challenge was broadcast from the 29 March 2008 - 21 May 2010.
