The Hairy Bakers: Pies and Pasties

The Hairy Bikers take their longest trip in this baking series, from Cornwall to Scotland.

Dave and Si start in the far South West cooking traditional pasties at Geevor Tin Mine in Cornwall. Once made, the pasties - and the boys - face the ultimate test: the locals. Will the pasties be good enough to impress?

They then head northwards to the Midlands and visit an orchard in Abberley, Worcestershire to produce an apple pie. From there, it's on to Melton Mowbray, where they try their hand at making pork pies.

Heading North, the boys' journey takes a detour via Dave's house where they rustle up two of their favourite pies. For Si, it's a chicken and wild mushroom, while Dave opts for a more humble cheese and onion pie.

Finally, it's on to Huntly in Aberdeenshire, where our hungry hairy bikers sample an extraordinary range of pies - Scotch pie, macaroni pie, and mashed potato and baked bean pie.

Their journey ends on the banks of the River Deveron. There, they cook a salmon coulibiac - a whole fish stuffed with prawns wrapped in filo pastry - and feed it to pipers and highland dancers.
