On August 15, 2008, Serdy was granted approval by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to operate "Cuisine", a national French-language category 2 digital cable specialty channel devoted to food-related programming.[1] On January 19, 2010, Groupe Serdy announced that it was ready to launch the channel in March,[2] and on February 24, Serdy unveiled the channel's identity, including the channel's new name (Zeste), and programming to the media.[3]

The channel was launched on March 22 in standard and high definition.
