Home Cooking by Trisha Yearwood
Trisha Yearwood and her husband Garth Brooks may have a string of number one country hits but the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine places their cookbook anywhere but near the top when it comes to heart-healthy eating.
The group of doctors who recommend a plant-based diet has named the top worst cookbooks of 2010 which include titles by Yearwood, Gordon Ramsay, a Top Chef Collection and more.
Here’s just a little of what PCRM had to say about Yearwood’s Home Cooking, which includes a breakfast recipe for almost a dozen eggs!
“The Georgia native presents her recipes with family stories and tips, but unfortunately, the book does not take into account the state of Southerners’ health. States in the Southeast have the highest rates of obesity in the nation, but Yearwood’s recipes are loaded with fat and cholesterol. Garth’s Breakfast Bowl, for example, includes eight large eggs, a pound each of bacon and sausage, cheese tortellini, cheddar cheese, tater tots, and butter.”
“These cookbooks are blueprints for obesity and heart disease,” says PCRM’s nutrition education director
Susan Levin, M.S., R.D. “They completely disregard the fact that America’s in the midst of an obesity epidemic. Ramsay and other chefs have turned even traditionally healthy recipes into unhealthy ones by adding copious amounts of fat.”
The top five worst cookbooks, according to the PCRM, are as follows:
- World Kitchen, by Gordon Ramsay
- Barefoot Contessa: How Easy is That? by Ina Garten
- Home Cooking, by Trisha Yearwood
- How to Cook Like a Top Chef from the makers of Top Chef
- The Primal Blueprint Cookbook by Mark Sisson and Jennifer Meier
