The 7 Most Dangerous Celebrity Chefs For Your Waistline
They say that if you cook at home it’s healthier for you because you’re not getting huge portions that you normally would from eating out but it’s not always the healthier option. Especially if you decide to copy some celebrity chef recipes. Here are 7 celebrity chefs who are lethal for your waistline:
01. Gordon Ramsay
This temperamental chef was noted in the study for recipes like his sticky toffee and chocolate pudding. Sounds delish? One serving comes with 23 grams of saturated fat, exceeding the recommended allowance for women for the entire day.
02. Tana Ramsay
How does this couple stay fit? Wife of Gordon Ramsey, Tana Ramsey must not eat her Irish lamb stew with dumplings very often, as a single portion contains a whopping 25 grams of saturated fat!
03. Jean-Christophe Novelli
French chef and Hell’s Kitchen star Jean-Christophe Novelli easily beats the Ramsays’ saturated fat content with his own honey roast pumpkin soup, which weighs in at a staggering 43.2 grams. Add the suggested cheese garnish, and this “light” starter dish really tips the scales.
04. Marco Pierre White
It’s easy to understand where Gordon Ramsay got his penchant for fattening food when you consider that he was trained by Chef Marco Pierre White, the youngest chef ever to have been awarded three Michelin stars and dubbed the “first celebrity chef” by The Sunday Times. He’s got a knack for upping the flavor of vegetables. Unfortunately that means adding gobs of butter. The Fat Panel report adds, “It seems counter-intuitive to make fruit and vegetables less healthy.”
05. Paula Deen
When it comes to butter, cheese and fried food, Paula Deen doesn’t hold back. A list of her top 10 recipes posted on her website says it all: Southern fried chicken, cheese biscuits, Krispy Kreme bread pudding (yes, the donut chain), and gooey butter cakes. Almost every recipe contains ingredients high in harmful fats, such as shortening, butter, sour cream and heavy cream.
06. Rachael Ray
Rachael gets points for articles on her website such as Slimming Down Your Favorite Foods and Lighter Side of Italian, but some of her recipes send a mixed message, such as adding grated cheese to mashed potatoes that already have milk and butter. In another example, her egg pasta frittata calls for 12 eggs, pasta, heavy cream, butter, and cheese. Yum-O indeed, but uh-oh, full of saturated fat.
07. Nigella Lawson
Oh, Nigella. Queen of comfort food. And would we want her any other way? Of course not. Still, you’d do well by your waistline to exercise moderation when cooking up dishes like her egg and bacon pie, which contains 10 grams of butter and 17 grams of saturated fat per serving.
