Jamie Olivers Meals in Minutes, released last fall, was criticised namely for its Meatball Sandwich recipe, which contains more fat than a Big Mac and more than double the calories, cholesterol, sodium and saturated fat, said the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.
The recipe calls for ground beef, pancetta, Jarlsberg cheese and ciabatta loaves.
Its a harsh blow for the British chef and TV personality, who has been at the forefront of several aggressive campaigns and public policy movements pushing families to eat healthier meals, including series like Jamies School Dinners in the UK and Jamie Olivers Food Revolution in the US.
Olivers offending meatball sandwich recipe has landed him in the company of known butter and fat-bomb recipe writers like Southern food matriarch Paula Deen, who makes no apologies for deep frying cheesecake, and meat-loving chef Guy Fieri.
A serving of Hot Buffalo Wings (three wings) from Paula Deens Southern Cooking Bible contains 910 calories and 85gm of fat, while Guy Fieri Foods Jambalaya Sandwich with bacon, Andouille and smoked sausages could help raise the risk of colon cancer, the group says.
Other nutritional offenders include The Neelys Celebration Cookbook for their saturated fat-laden Bourbon Bread Pudding and The Cooks Illustrated Cookbook for focusing on meat-based recipes. AFP-Relaxnews
