The UKTV Food website (originally devised and launched by Ian Fenn and Ally Branley) provides a number of services including information on programmes shown on the channel, recipes, message boards, and a wine club. Recipes come from the various shows on UKTV Food and some include videos taken from the demonstrations. In September 2006 UKTV Food's website overtook the BBC Food site in popularity for the first time, achieving a 10% market share, against the 9.63% the BBC Food site dropped to, having held the top spot since it began.
