Rachael Ray's Italian Wedding...
I just read that the Food Network's Rachael Ray got married last weekend in Montalcino! Does anyone have details??? I'm a huge fan of hers.
|
Only thing I heard was she was too busy to plan her wedding. Her mother and fiancee planned the whole thing.
|
I googled her name and all the stories were the same.
She got married in Montalcino and is teaming up with Oprah Winfrey`s production company for a syndicated cooking show pilot. Maybe she will release a few more details later or maybe it will be aired as a Food Network special!?!? ;-) |
I'm a fan of hers as well, however I am not that crazy about her 30 minute meals. I don't find the recipes to be that appealing. I like her $40 a Day show a lot better. Very informative and interesting. She's doing okay for herself and to think she never went to culinary school.
|
Oh rats! I guess my invitation was lost in mail. :-(
|
OK I am lost here and I don't have that channel in Ireland...who is Rachel Ray????? I love the idea of the Montalcino wedding though!
|
Siobhan: Rachel Ray is a cute young lady that has worked very hard to get where she is. She is on our Food channel and does a show on how to make dinners in 30 minutes. In another show she travels the world to show people how to eat on $40. a day. She has another new show that I haven't see yet that is a travel show.
She's cute, perky and very likable. She is about 37 years old. |
She is from upstate NY - near Lake George - and we first met her when she was working for one of our larger supermarkets, cooking food in the aisles!
|
If she is 37 I am going to gag. No woman that age should act so dippy and cutesy.
You in Ireland are not missing anything believe me. |
Peeky - Well her perkiness is part of the key to her success.
|
madison I have tried to watch her, really. If she were a teen she would be cute with her goofiness but since she is an adult woman I want to scream after a minute or two. If she were a comedianne it would be another story but the show treats her seriously. She has to stop the young cutesy bit at some point don't you think.
|
Racheal Ray started working in the food business at Macy's (eeek!!!) - I don't think she has any culinary training per se - but she's not nearly as bad as "semi-home made cooking with Sandra Lee" - wish I could find the link for her Kwanza cake ( a store bought angel food cake - canned apple pie filling - chocolate frosting from a can - I can't go on it just too horrible...)
|
Peeky, I can understand how her perkiness can get to you. As much as I like her it sometimes gets to me as well. But that is who she is and I think it's genuine.
Carta Pisana - Gosh I must have missed that episode of Semi Homemade Cooking with Sandra Lee where she "made" the Kwanza cake. It sounds horrible. My question is who does she know at Food Network to beable to stay on the air? |
Siobhan, you can get information and all the recipes from Rachael Ray's shows at www. foodnetwork.com . There are also some good travel/food listings under the tasty travel header. It lists the $40 a day cities, etc. As for Sandra Lee's Kwanzaa Celebration Cake, the recipe is available at that website too. It sounds absolutely horrible, canned apple pie filling, canned frosting and corn nuts. It doesn't have any reviews yet, I guess it didn't sound good enough to anyone to want to try it.
|
Rachel Ray grew up in the restaurant business. Her family owned two restaurants before her parents finally divorced. Her mother was born in Sicily and her father is originally from New Orleans.
Who does Sandra Lee know? Gordon Elliott, who is credited with "discovering" her. BC |
I heard that the wedding was over in 30 minutes and only cost $40!

Maybe Rachael Ray will replace Rick Steves as the official Fodorite Controversial Figurehead.
|
in light of Racheal's tipping on her travel/food show - I'd hate to be the caterer.
very funny JoeG |
I like her $40 shows, but, yeah, I agree. Her perkiness can be too much at times especially when she giggles. And everything tastes 'Mmmmmmm...'
