The Bikers go in search of mums who share their love of being lazy.

Series celebrating home cooking. The Bikers go in search of mums who share their love of being lazy. Dishes include chicken pie and a morel mushroom sauce for chicken.

Everyone loves a lazy weekend, and no one more than the Hairy Bikers. In this episode they go in search of mums who share their love of being lazy.

Elaine's family favourite, the peach paradise pudding (a slice of 70s food heaven) and heart-warming chicken pie are the perfect hors d'oeuvre followed by Rosalyn's slow cooked beef stew and speedy plava cake. Then there's a rather savoury pudding of Jenny's pickled salads for raclette and an amazing morel mushroom sauce for roast chicken. 

Si and Dave don't let the side down either with a brunch classic of banana pancakes with bacon. Also on the lazy weekends menu from the bikers are spiced tea-cakes and braised steaks with chips and gravy.

With the mums ready, hundreds of foodies descend on the Bikers' recipe fair. Amidst the recipe swapping and general mayhem, the bikers cook devilled kidneys, while food historian Gerard Baker challenges five recipe fair visitors to a skills challenge. 

After all that hard work, there's only one thing left to do - enjoy the fruits of their lazy weekend cooking at the recipe fair banquet.
