Hi - has anyone got Hairy Bikers Baking book? It's the book that follows the ' Bakeation' tv series. If anyone has it would you recommend it? It's just that it's on offer at the mo with The Book People. £7.99.

I dont have it, but I am a big fan of their recipes.

Havent made anything yet that didn't work and wasnt lovely.(all tends to be non diet friendly mind-probably why it always tastes so good)

I pick up a lot of their recipes from the BBC food website.

£7.99 sounds like a good price though, I do know the book people always have really good prices.

I liked the look of the Curly Pie they made last night in Romania. It's Austrian Cookery next week, so will be watching like a hawk - as Austrian cookery is my speciality.

I'm coming round to yours then Emma We are spending NYE in Austria

 

I haven't seen this weeks, but we are going to the Moselle in a month or so and are going to visit the bakery they went to last week where they took 48 hours to prove a loaf I love eating other people's baking

I got it for Mothers Day. It's great, as good as the other books they have done.

I missed them in Hull yesterday at a book signing why do they have to be during the day when I'm at work.

But I have tickets for the live show in October.

I too got the book for mother's day and have been waiting for the easter holidays to try out some recipes, made the curly pies to take camping, went down a treat with everyone, but would put more filling in next time. Made some cheese and onion and some ham and cheese.

Oops! Have no idea why my posting has appeared twice - and my poor little hen is flapping like mad!

[craftyhunnypie]

Your poor hen is exhausted! I went in a well known bookshop in Aber today & they wanted £16 for this book!

Am now going to order it from The Book people.

Thanks everyone. Will report back when it arrives & I've made something from it.

Have just made the stromboli from the Italian section in the book for tea. Left out the prosciutto, otherwise followed the recipe and it was delicious. Devoured by everyone. Just looked at the recipe, says it feeds 6, ours struggled to feed the 5 of us, and there I was hoping for a little leftover for lunch tomorrow. Highly recommended by all!

Also made the Dutch butter cake, another yum, but I didn't have the right sized tin, so could have done with a little longer in the oven, but the almonds were starting to burn. Only half left though so must have been ok!

My book has been despatched. Woohoo! I enjoyed last nights show & although they didn't stop in Salzburg - I recognized every street! I wasn't impressed with their Linzertorte. I can vouch for both Sacher Torte - I have had both the Hotel Sacher & the Demel. The Hotel Sacher one has the edge for me. Mm mm mmm.

I loved the Yodelling Hobbit man. I wanted to eat his Kase Spatzle. So much so, I had to go find my recipe for it. But I'm not sure what I have done with my potato ricer machine / gadget. Grrrr!

I have walked on Grossglockner ( the glacier) - stunning it is!

 

I absolutely love their programmes & they even stayed at a Hotel in Goa, India - that we were in. We admired these motorbikes every day & the signs ' The Hairy Bikers'. But they weren't so famous then & we hadn't heard of them - so we just thought they were 2 mates doing an across India tour.

I do like them, but their programme has the opposite effect that cookery programmes usually have on me. In that they don't make me hungry. Its just them stuffing their faces with all the food. I know its filmed over several days, but I think its just the portions and the editing make them look like they are constantly eating

 

I however will still be watching YD told me about the stromboli, so I think we shall be trying it soon. It is lovely to see all the different places of the various countries, not the usual places and tourist traps.
