BBC Food is the BBC's international commercial television channel focusing solely on food. The channel is owned and operated by BBC Worldwide, the BBC's commercial arm.
The channel launched in June 2002 and is available in southern Africa and Scandinavia. While much of the programming is from the BBC, having been shown on other outlets elsewhere, other content from other providers is included in the scheduling.
Well known chefs who have appeared on the channel with their respective programmes have included:
- Nigella Lawson
- Delia Smith
- Jamie Oliver
- Antonio Carluccio
- Antony Worrall Thompson
- Rick Stein
- Sophie Grigson
- Ken Hom
- Madhur Jaffrey
- Ainsley Harriott
- James Martin
- Gary Rhodes
A similar service operates within the UK and Ireland called UKTV Food, a joint venture between BBC Worldwide and Virgin Media Television.
BBC Food was phased out in Africa in September 2008 by DStv, and was replaced by BBC Lifestyle.
