Washington-based Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) has named the five best and five worst cookbooks of the decade.

A recent report compiled by PCRM finds that many of the last decade’s cookbooks are filled with recipes encouraging high fat, meat-heavy dishes. The doctors note that Paula Deen’s Baked Wild Rice sounds perfectly healthy until you discover the one cup of heavy cream and one cup of butter that is used in the recipe.

“These high-fat recipes help explain why America’s obesity-related medical spending doubled over the past decade,” said PCRM nutrition director Susan Levin, M.S., R.D. “You’d need a magnifying glass to find a vegetable in some of these cookbooks. But the good news is that a growing number of chefs are offering tasty meatless recipes that can help us stay trim and healthy.”

The best list features The Kind Diet by Alicia Silverstone and The Conscious Cook by Tal Ronnen. Not surprisingly, Ted Nugent’s Kill It and Grill It did not fare so well.
