The BBC's cookery competition Great British Menu is to celebrate the London Olympics rather than the Queen's Diamond Jubilee this year.
After previously honouring serving British troops, UK food producers and other causes, the corporation is to devote the 2012 series to the sporting extravaganza in London.
The BBC Two show features "celebrity" chefs such as Antony Worrall Thompson, Gary Rhodes and Mark Hix competing to get their dishes on a banquet for a major event.
The programme was originally devised to celebrate the Queen's 80th birthday, but it will not mark the 60th anniversary of her accession to the throne this year.
Pru Leith, a judge on the show, told The Daily Telegraph: "We're about to start another Great British Menu, but it won't be cooking for the Diamond Jubilee. It will be about the Olympics this time, as it's such an exciting event."
The 2010 series featured a banquet hosted by the Prince of Wales in honour of British food producers. It is not clear whether a royal will again host the banquet for 2012, or if it may be London 2012 chief Lord Sebastian Coe.
Speaking at the launch of her autobiography, Leith - who was awarded a CBE in the 2010 Queen's Birthday Honours - confirmed that the chefs would be producing dishes for athletes, most likely after they have finished competing.
"The chefs will be cooking for these great athletes, which, I can only imagine, will be after the Olympic Games, because, with the different, strict diets they must be on, it could be terribly tricky otherwise," she said.
