The Hairy Bikers: Mums Know Best

In this programme Si and Dave are celebrating 'family favourites', those dishes that speak of home and childhood and love. This celebration starts north of the border with visits to three Scottish mums. The Bikers discover what family recipes these mums have been treating their loved ones to over the years. From a classic cheese pie and 'rumpy-pumpy soup' to samosas and a world of fantastic cakes, the Hairy Bikers sample them all and, inspired by the cooking of these mums, they take a trip down memory lane to cook their own family favourite recipes. Their celebration of family food ends up (as all good celebrations do) in a field filled with nearly 200 mums tasting and sharing each others' family-favourite cooking.

When the sun shines and the grass isn't too wet, there is nothing like being in the great outdoors feasting on home cooked delicacies. Why limit your hamper to jam sandwiches and sausage rolls as The Hairy Bikers show you the tasty treats that could make your picnic a veritable feast. The feast includes a spicy selection of Indian dishes from a Birmingham mum, a Victoria Sponge recipe that is nothing short of baking alchemy and bananas wrapped in bacon.

Sometimes you just can't go to bed without a belly-full of your favourite supper. The Hairy Bikers delve into the legacy of those simple dishes that send us off to bed feeling warm and satisfied. Whether it's a Portuguese take on fish and chips, a salmon curry or the perfect meat and potato pie, Si King and Dave Myers explore why these have all made it into the hearts and recipe books of three mums with a story to tell and a family to feed. The simple supper celebration climaxes in a field filled with nearly 200 mums tasting and sharing their favourite dishes. So join the Bikers as they continue their biggest adventure to date.

There is nothing nicer than mum's Sunday dinner and the Hairy Bikers are on a mission to champion this national triumph. Si and Dave visit two mums and a son, and sample a selection of delights from a second-generation Italian from East London. They also visit a mother and daughter who take on a regal classic, and a mum whose American father and husband rely on her culinary skills for a heart-warming taste of home. The celebration of Sunday dinners climaxes in a field filled with nearly 200 mums tasting and sharing each other's favourite dishes.

The Hairy Bikers are treated to flamboyant recipes that would be fit for a king. Si King and Dave Myers sample such delights as a pig's trotter dish from the Baltics and a lemon souffle by order of the royal family. They learn the secret behind a perfect baked Alaska and conjure up their own prized honey glazed ham. The lads are also shown a lesson or two in etiquette. The celebration climaxes in a field filled with nearly 200 mums tasting and sharing their favourite dishes.

On your one special day, you deserve the best dish on the menu and who better to steer you in the right direction than the Hairy Bikers? Join Si King and Dave Myers as they visit three mums and discover what they hold dearest for the day of many happy returns. The lads rustle up a summer berry trifle, while our mums treat the boys to such varied dishes as a Manchester tart, Greek stuffed vine leaves and a Caribbean Saturday soup courtesy of a Jamaican mum who wants to spread the love of food to the world. The celebration climaxes in a field filled with nearly 200 mums tasting and sharing their favourite dishes.
