Hairy Bikers' Si King on finishing new cookbook to honour Dave Myers
The Hairy Bikers' Si King has opened up about finishing a new cookbook following the passing of Dave Myers.
Speaking about his late friend on The One Show, Si said, "It's been a big loss but I'm coping okay - it's a big adjustment, but I know Dave would have wanted me to keep pushing on so that's what I'll do."
The pair started working on their latest cookbook Our Family Favourites together before Dave's passing in February earlier this year.
Si said he "really wanted to finish it in his honour" and described Dave as his "best mate".
"I want to look after the legacy that we've built because I think it deserves the respect for the work that Dave and myself put into it," Si said. "We're mates and just because Dave's passed doesn't stop him from being a friend - the spirit of our relationship will always be there."
He explained that the new cookbook is "full of heritage and it's full of stories and love", while the official description adds that it is "inspired by their journey together. Si King has completed this book as a tribute to his best friend and cooking partner Dave Myers, and a celebration of the food they loved to cook for themselves and their families."
While on The One Show, Si also described food as "celebration" and "the social glue that we all have as human beings." He described sharing a meal together as "an expression of love" adding that it was "the best thing in the world."
Our Family Favourites is available to buy now.
