Hairy Bikers Cookbook : Complete BBC Series 1 & 2 [DVD]
DVD Description
“Tell you what a great life would be, that would be one in which we could just ride bikes, cook food and talk b******s.” …So began Dave Myer’s and Si King’s quest for adventure and good food. Packing their unpretentious northern humour and enduring friendship on the back of two monster motor bikes, these amiable, leather-clad hairies road out to make the best travel-cum-cookery-cum-comedy show ever seen. Around the world – from Transylvania to Vietnam, from Namibia to Mexico – they make friends, emerse themselves in local culture and learn to cook regional delicacies, however daunting. From hairy rickshaw pedallers to hairy caravan-trainee Donna kebab merchants they’ll try anything; from crocodile satay in Namibia, garlic-fried grass hoppers in Mexico to coconut worms in Vietnam.

During the course of filming several TV series, Si King and Dave Myers have gunned their bikes’ engines and carried their not insubstantial girths the length and breadth of the UK – and beyond – in search of recipes with a sense of place.
The Hairies’ most recent book accompanies the current BBC series Mums Know Best. As the title suggests, the book and programmes are all about family cooking, with a collection of much-loved meals, many gleaned from the recipe-swapping fairs the Bikers held throughout the UK. Chapters are entitled Family Favourites, Show-off Food, Good Simple Suppers, Birthday Treats, Sunday Dinners and Picnics.
The book begins with ultra-trad recipes for fish and chips, pies, mince-based dishes and simple soups. So far, so predictable. Things get more interesting, though, with ideas from the community groups who came to the recipe-swapping sessions, including the Bradford Curry Project, the Gurkhas, West African and Caribbean societies and the Chinese Older People’s Group. Recipes for Bradford-style muttar paneer, Nepalese mutton curry, Ghanaian guinea fowl with red chilli and sweet and sour pork from Hong Kong spice up the offerings.
