Dave Myers: First copies of new Hairy Bikers book printed

It was announced in June that 'Our Family Favourites' would be hitting the shelves, with the official release date coming later this month on Thursday, October 24.

Ahead of the launch, Si King took to social media to give a first look at the book, having been one of the first recipients of the freshly printed release.

He said: "It's always a big occasion, this - it's such a special moment when these boxes arrive.

"It's a book with all brand new recipes and it basically follows Dave and I's adventures together and the things that we cook in the house - they're literally our family favourites."

It will contain 100 new recipes inspired by the duo's journey together, 'perfect for families of all shapes and sizes'.

Si explained what inspired him to keep on working on the book, which comes after Dave's passing on February 28 following a two-year battle with cancer.

"It's a book that I wanted to complete and finish for Dave because he passed, unfortunately, before we finished this book.

"It wasn't the easiest of times for us but, as always, Dave and I found comfort through food and there was still a lot of laughter, because food should be fun.

"It's some lovely, lovely recipes that both my and Dave's families enjoy to this day and it's all in one book - I hope that you enjoy just as much as Dave and I enjoyed putting it together."

The book is described as being a 'deeply personal' tribute to Dave, as well as providing all the hearty recipes that the Hairy Bikers have become famous for over the past two decades.

You can still pre-order your copy through Amazon and Waterstones ahead of the release of 'Our Family Favourites' on October 24.
