Putting this book together was a really exciting process - we tried to get to the bottom of what people really like to cook and eat, by putting a callout on our social medias for you to get in touch with your favourite dinners, desserts and bakes. When you are ready to eat, remove the patties from the fridge. Peel the avocado, remove the stone and slice the flesh. Toss the slices in the lime juice and season with salt.

Carefully flip the burgers to fry the other side. If serving with cheese, add it to the burgers now and put something over the pan to help the cheese melt – a lid partially covering the pan is fine. Big flavours. Good ingredients. Uncomplicated food. That's what Si King and Dave Myers, AKA the Hairy Bikers, are known and loved for. Now the kings of comfort, and nation's favourite cooking duo, bring you everyday cooking at its best. Put the beans into a bowl and mash them roughly – you want a mixture of textures.
