UK Food was launched on 5th November 2001. Along with the rest of the network, the "UK" prefix was changed to "UKTV" on 8th March 2004 and is thus now known as UKTV Food.
This channel shows cookery programmes that are a combination of internally produced shows and repeats of shows from the BBC archive. Many of these shows were, before UK Food's launch, shown on UK Style.
The channel shows several BBC reruns, but also has shows such as Good Food Live which are unique to the UKTV network.
UKTV Food is available on Satellite (BSkyB) and Cable platforms. A partial service is available on digital terrestrial television through the Top Up TV pay-tv service between 9am and 12:30pm. Originally, it timeshared with E4 and was transmitted between 10am and 4pm. This changed when E4 became free-to-air and left Top Up TV; its replacement, British Eurosport was required to start from 2pm, and later 12:30pm due to the channel's popularity.
The channel is also very similar to its worldwide equivalent, BBC Food.
