Si King and Dave Myers prepare picnic treats, including Scotch egg and Victoria sponge.

Series celebrating home cooking. Si King and Dave Myers prepare food that could make any picnic a veritable feast - from Scotch egg to bananas wrapped in bacon.

The Hairy Bikers: Mums Know Best is a celebration of the very best of home cooking in Britain. Si and Dave have toured the nation hunting out Britain's lost family recipes - those forgotten gems and secret scribbles that have been handed down through the generations but are in danger of being lost forever.

In this programme, Si and Dave celebrate the Great British picnic. When the sun shines and the grass isn't too wet, there is nothing like being in the great outdoors feasting on home cooked delicacies! But why limit your hamper to jam sandwiches and sausage rolls when The Hairy Bikers can show you the 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 - yes, really - their bulging picnic hamper has never been so inviting.

The celebration of picnics climaxes in a field filled with nearly 200 mums tasting and sharing each others' family favourite dishes. Join the Bikers as they continue their biggest adventure to date.
