Synopsis

Written and read by the 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.

Goodreads review by Michael on October 01, 2018

I’m a big fan of the Hairy Bikers. I’ve seen most if their shows. I own most of their cookbooks. If I’m stuck for an idea about what to cook for dinner, they’re my first choice for inspiration. I’m not a big reader of autobiographies, but as soon as I saw they’d written one, I wanted to read it. In m......more

Published 5th November 2015 Authors: Dave Myers and Si King I couldn't put this book down. I love watching the Hairy Bikers on t.v and have been fortunate to see them live on one of their tours. It was fascinating to read about their early lives and the family traumas that both Dave and Si had encount......more

Goodreads review by Sian on October 09, 2017

As an autobiography, I don’t really feel I can do the “plot” break down! If you don’t know the Hairy Bikers, who are you and where have you been?! Okay, let’s be honest – a little less than 8 years ago, I don’t think I knew who they were either. But then Ben introduced me to cookery and the world of......more

Quotes

The brilliant new book from Britain's favourite foodie double act. The 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. 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.
