The Hairy Bikers Blood, Sweat and Tyres by Hairy Bikers

The Hairy Bikers are known for their many best-selling cookbooks, including the HAIRY DIETERS, HAIRY BIKERS' PERFECT PIES, GREAT CURRIES and MUMS KNOW BEST, and now they are here to tell you how it all started. Si King and Dave Myers, aka The Hairy Bikers, have lived life to the fullest. They had fantastically rich northern childhoods, laced with food and fun, but of course, with some tragedy too. But we also get to know the early Bikers - we find out how their friendship developed and all of the mad capers and round-the-world trips they went on. Perfect for their fans, heavily seasoned with warmth, food, love, bikes and bro-mance, the Hairies never fail to entertain.

The brilliant new book from Britain's favourite foodie double actThe Mail on Sunday Their admirable determination to overcome adversity and live life to the full makes Blood, Sweat & Tyres an endearing and thoughtful coming-of-age story about two of Britain's most-loved personalities. Dave and Si are undoubtedly two of the most interesting, engaging and likeable characters you will read about this Christmas. -- Joe Short DAILY EXPRESS You'd expect an autobiography from Hairy Bikers Si King and Dave Myers to provide some behind-the-scenes insights into the world of telly. That's happily the case, but the pair can offer more showbiz tales than most: before they bagged their own BBC2 travelogue, Myers worked in prosthetics, while King was a locations manager. From the story of shepherding a baboon through Durham Cathedral to a close encounter with a topless Catherine Zeta-Jones, it's all included - alongside their most memorable meals - in Blood, Sweat & Tyres, which is both mouthwatering and moving. -- Hannah Shaddock Radio Times

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 with Si, Dave's travelling companion and the other half of the hairy bikers. Their most recent BBC primetime series, Northern Exposure, was selected as Critics' Choice by the Sunday Times Culture Magazine, who said of the opening episode: "As they ride south from Gdansk, the Hairies cook Polish dishes such as pierogi and kielbasa... the first leg of their journey strikes the right balance between silliness, seriousness...and foodie enthusiasm." www.hairybikers.com https://www.facebook.com/HairyBikers https://twitter.com/HairyBikers
