The Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Culinary Program was awarded every year by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences between 2010 and 2024. In 2025, it was announced that it will be divided into two specific categories: Outstanding Culinary Instructional Series honoring those shows more instructive in food preparation and cooking, and Outstanding Culinary Cultural Series honoring those shows focused more on the cultural aspects of food.
