Book Description

Publication Date: 14 Jan 2010 | Series: Hairy Bikers

Si and Dave undertake a nationwide search for Britain's lost recipes - those forgotten gems or secret scribbles handed down through the generations - for a landmark TV series.

The Bikers send out a call-to-arms for mums, daughters and their grandmothers to unlock their private recipe archives and share with, and learn from, other mums of all races and backgrounds.

This is a heart-warming and down-to-earth recipe book that takes place against beautiful British backdrops throughout the summer. Here yummy mummies, Northern matriarchs, West Indian foster mums and ladies of the manor all come together with recipes to share, tips to swap and techniques to learn, in a book that contains 112 different recipes.

Book Description

THE HAIRY BIKERS: MUMS KNOW BEST is the BBC's biggest food event for years.

About the Author

Si King hails from north east England and is a big, blond, bearded biker with an infectious laugh. His love of food was established at a young age when his father bought exotic ingredients back from his Royal Navy voyages. Born and bred in Barrow-in-Furness, Dave Myers joined the BBC as a make-up artist, and while travelling the world with hit TV series he picked up recipes and Simon, Dave's travelling companion and the other half of the hairy bikers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Food for All 8 Mar 2010
By Manof Rudd
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
The book was purchased after watching the series on TV, and it has not disappointed, in fact it has exceeded expectations.
The recipes are all good honest food, that are just as the title suggests "Mums Know Best" we have tried 3 already, which is unknown with all the previous cookbooks that my wife has accumulated over the years.
We would recommend this cookbook to anyone, absolutely FIRST CLASS
Try the Cottage Pie !

5.0 out of 5 stars Yes, mum does know best 14 Jan 2010
By Campbell79
Format:Hardcover
I started watching this series on the TV last week and frantically searched the web for the recipes featured - but to no avail. As soon as I saw this book for pre-sale I ordered it immediately and eagerly awaited its arrival.

The book has recently been received and I am very impressed with its content; easy to follow recipes which are not full of strange ingredients you wouldn't find in an "ordinary" kitchen and best of all meals which can remind you of your childhood and are a pleasure to both cook and eat.

Not only that but other foods which different cultures eat and are a great addition to meals which you ordinarily cook. The pictures alone have me salivating and quoting Si "oooohh look at that, man".

I have bought a couple of previous books by The Hariy Bikers and I have not bothered making many of the recipes, however, this is not the case with this book, I know I will return to this time and time again for hearty, family friendly, delicious meals.

Edit made 25/01/10
Urgent note to anyone purchasing this book, once you start dishing out biscuits to friends and family, you will find that you are inundated with requests for more - this has proved to be costly but I am now a family favourite! Beware!

5.0 out of 5 stars Happy Hairy Bikers know best... 2 May 2010
By J. E. M. Kneale TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Hardcover
I loved the TV series,and got this book for Mother's day this year. It is brilliant. It's full of basic recipes that are fun to make, not too expensive generally and edible.
The bikers have scoured the country and come up with a wide selection of family favourites from the British, Greek and Indian traditions.... samosas made with tortilla sound strange, but taste great. Scotch eggs with a spicy eastern touch, minced beef pie, cheesy mash, a whole range of recipes that reflect the diversity of our cuisine and celebrate the idea that a home cook can make good, wholesome meals without ordering free range pork or spending a fortune on spices from Waitrose.
My favourite recipes are the baking products. Welsh cakes, butterfly cakes, a cracking version of Rocky Road (renamed Colorado Cake in our house because of the boulders)millionaire shortbread and so many others that I ams till working my way through the options available. If you have a hoard of hungry mouths to feed, related or not, this book will appeal to you. One of my essential cooking volumes now, along with Apples for Jam: Recipes for Life and Delia's whole output, especially her Delia's Complete Cookery Course - Classic Edition: Vol 1-3 in 1v
