Intrepid bikers Si King and Dave Myers set off on a remarkable expedition to the very north of Namibia. They’re going in search of the Himba tribe. On the menu: giant fried egg, roast lamb cooked in an earth pit and a traditional bobotie.

For two lifelong bikers and foodies, the chance to combine a trip to the annual Isle of Man TT Races with some serious cooking is irresistible. However the journey is far from easy. On the menu: crab soufflés, seabass, local lamb and scallops.

With its fresh fish and happy meat, tall tales and velvet stout, Ireland for Si and Dave is a kind of bikers’ nirvana. They set off on a quest for the perfect Irish stew. Also on the menu: oysters, Louisiana Po'Boys and Irish whiskey syllabub.

Doing their best to discover whether Transylvania really is all rare meat and garlic, Si and Dave travel through Romania by motorbike on a quest for great food. On the way they discover more about the Dracula legend. On the menu: pancakes and pork sarmales.

From Sighisoara, in the heart of Transylvania, the search is on for Sarah – the lady who makes chicken noodle soup by Royal Appointment. On the menu: chicken paprikas, spaetzles, ewe's milk pudding, dill blinis and spicy Romanian sausages.
