Dave Myers’ Hairy Biker friend Si King revealed today that the couple’s latest cookbook will be out in October after the TV star died of cancer aged 66.
The 57-year-old said he wanted to finish Our Family Favorites in honor of “my best friend” and had written it “with love.”
Si was at Dave’s side when he died in February at the age of 66 after receiving treatment for cancer.
Today, in a video posted to Facebook, the chef said he had frequently discussed Our Family Favorites with his friend and felt it was right to post it.
“We have a new book called Our Family Favorites and I just wanted to talk a little bit about it,” she said.
Si said he wanted to finish Our Family Favorites in honor of “my best friend” and that he had written it “with love.”

‘It’s full of recipes that have remained our favorites over the years and that remain close to our hearts.
“It will be out in October, but you can pre-order it now.”
Si added, his voice breaking: “This is a truly special book written with love and in memory of my lovely partner.”
