Jamie Oliver BOOK BACKLASH

Jamie Oliver has long had the recipe for success at his fingertips. But the popular British chef served up a rare, and completely avoidable, career misstep with his new children's book, Billy and the Epic Escape.

The 400-page fantasy novel has been fiercely criticised for its inclusion of a chapter, entitled 'To Steal a Child'.

Critics claimed the plot point was insensitive, particularly given the history of First Nations and Torres Strait Islander children being removed from their families.
