The Hairy Bikers: Mums Know Best

Si and Dave have toured the nation hunting out Britain's lost family recipes. In this programme, they visit three mums in Scotland and discover what dishes they 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 then take a trip down memory lane themselves.

Si and Dave celebrate the picnic and make tasty treats that could make your picnic a veritable feast. From their own take on the humble Scotch egg, to 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.

The Hairy Bikers delve into the legacy of those simple dishes that send people off to bed feeling warm and satisfied. Whether it's fish and chips, salmon curry or meat and potato pie, Si and Dave 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.

There is nothing nicer than mum's Sunday dinner and the Hairy Bikers are on a mission to champion this national triumph. Si King and Dave Myers 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 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.

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 and Greek stuffed vine leaves.
