The Hairy Bikers: Mums Know Best

Julia welcomes us back to her home and we are also reunited with her daughter Kate. We are treated to a Southern-Style lunch of Tex-Mex Cornbread for meat-eaters and vegetarians, Potato Salad (Southern-Style of course) and Boston Baked Beans. Julia and Kate talk about their American heritage, and examine the conflict that arises between the Texan and Native American roots when it comes to Cornbread!

The Hairy Bikers, Si King and Dave Myers are on the search for the most interesting food that Britain's mums are cooking for their families this Christmas. Celebrating the very best of Christmas Cooking in Britain, Si and Dave tour the nation hunting out Britain's festive favourites and a few surprises. On their journey they find mums cooking everything from roast goose with all the trimmings to Pinnekjott (that's salted cured lamb steamed over birch twigs to you and me) and from festive gingerbread to Christmassy coconut samosas! The lads also conjure up their own seasonal specialities including Loin of Venison in home made sloe gin and Lime seared scallops with smoked salmon fritters. The celebration of Christmas favourites culminates at a stately home filled with nearly 200 mums tasting and sharing each others' favourite dishes.

A madcap journey through the verses of one of the most popular Christmas songs.
