A Fond Farewell to a Culinary Icon: The Hairy Bikers’ Last Cookbook

It is with a heavy heart that we bid farewell to Dave Myers, one-half of the beloved culinary duo known as the Hairy Bikers. Dave passed away at the age of 66 after a valiant battle with cancer. His long-time friend and co-presenter, Si King, has announced that their final cookbook will be released this October, serving as a testament to their enduring legacy in the world of food and travel.

Dave and Si captured the hearts of many with their unique blend of cooking and motorcycle adventures, traveling far and wide to explore diverse cuisines and cultures. From their debut on the BBC series “The Hairy Bikers’ Cookbook” in 2004, they became household names, beloved for their infectious enthusiasm, hearty recipes, and the genuine friendship that shone through every episode.

Despite Dave’s illness, his passion for cooking and commitment to their projects never waned. The final series, “Hairy Bikers Go West,” which aired earlier this year, was a poignant journey along the UK’s west coast, filled with the duo’s signature humor and culinary discoveries. Si King reflected on this period, praising Dave’s remarkable courage and determination to continue filming during his treatment.

Their upcoming cookbook, set to be a heartfelt culmination of their life’s work, promises to be a celebration of the recipes and adventures that defined their careers. Si King expressed his gratitude to the fans who have supported them throughout the years, noting that the cookbook is a tribute to the bond and shared love of food that he and Dave enjoyed.

As we look forward to this final culinary offering, we remember Dave not just for his culinary talents, but for his warmth, humor, and the joy he brought to so many. The Hairy Bikers’ legacy will undoubtedly live on, inspiring future generations of food enthusiasts.
