The Hairy Bikers' Cookbook

It is presented by The Hairy Bikers; Dave Myers and Si King, both of whom are from northern England, as they travel around the world on their motorbikes tasting the local cuisine, and experimenting with making it themselves.

They also talk about the culture and the history of the area that they are visiting, with a sense of humour and passion that has been praised by critics and fans.

This episode was moved to the end of the series because it featured interviews with MEPs and due to the Local Elections which took place shortly after the broadcast, could not be shown during the pre-election period.

A fourth series, based in the UK and concentrating on bread, cakes and pastry products began airing on BBC Two on 18 August 2008.

The first two series have been released onto a Region 2 DVD, although the Portugal episodes are not included.
