I happen to like her, and only partially because I am one of the people who watched her on channel 6 in Albany before she was famous...
She's funny and makes some nice simple dishes that I can usually adapt to my needs. What else do I need from a TV cook?
<i>(BTW-Emeril drives me crazy, and always has... he looks like an ex-con to me. Never quite makes full eye contact. ) </i>
The good news is... if you don't like her, just turn the channel! The wonders of American cable TV... I'm sure she won't be heart broken...

Hazel, darling, Snobby is a member of the INNER CIRCLE. She can post anything she likes on this forum. If YOU don't like it, don't read it.
PS This is related to traveling as Rachel Ray's show, "$40 A DAY," deals with dining in European restaurants. Haven't you ever watched her mug for the camera at Il Latini in Florence? She practically has bean soup running down her chin.

Of course it has something to do with travel! Haven't you ever watched RR in Europe on those $40 a Day shows? She's the only living person who can swallow an entire cone of gelato in one gulp.
Nothing to do with travel...sheesh! YOU go to Italy and try that!

What an odd photographe..NYCTS, you should know-is that odd to show her at such an angle? ..or were they going for the Largest Mouth in NY look?
But I have the same stove as Rachel Ray so she must have very good stove taste

MassageDiva - I really don't know much about Rick steves. Too bad Sandra Lee's show isn't connected in some way to travel. She would be a good candidate to "critique." After all how many people can say they invented the Lassitini drink?

Scarlett - Thank you for bringing up Rachael's mouth in that photo. I forgot to. Didn't her mother ever teach her not to smile so wide and that it will cause her to have stretch marks around her mouth?

Madison - I'd take RR over Sandra Lee anytime! RR might be rather too 'perky' but at least she made it on her own.
Oh, to marry a rich guy and end up with your own cooking show - even if the recipes are dodgy. No-one that thin cooks for a living!
Scarlett - nice stove

Scarlett, I thought the photo was an awful choice. It looks like she's auditioning for "Finding Nemo 2." For a minute, I couldn't tell whether the Times was lauding her or poking fun. Unfortunately, unless you have a "final pick" PR contract, photo editors at magazines and newspapers rule the roost.
"You're welcome" to all those who thanked me for the url, and <b>food</b> has <b>everything</b> to do with travel as far as I'm concerned. They don't call me NYCFood/TravelSnob for nothing.
ps Oh, Thin...how you make me laugh. As long as I'm here, don't you ever leave this board.

Her recipes are quite good. She uses REAL food--no soup mixes. She cooks healthy things. As for writing your own cookbook, go for it. We all have those recipes, to be honest.
I have bought a couple of her cookbooks for our kids. Both spouses work, they want to cook attractive and healthy things quickly when they come home. What's not to like. And her kids cookbook is very cute.
