What about Rachel Ray ? Is she a good cook?

Answer 1

I love watching her on foodnetwork. She is bubbly and has good tips for everyday cooking. I also have her 365 recipe book. Some of the meals are awesome while others looked better when she made them on tv. They are usually simple and use items most people stock, but some are a bit more complicated and you have to buy a lot of extra ingredients.

overall, she does her own thing and takes recipes from friends and puts her own spin to them.

also, try giata on everyday italian. now shes a great chef!

Answer 2

Yes.

But in the quest to continually come up with new recipes and variety for her TV show, she all too often uses ingredients that just aren't available at the local grocery store, or that have really weird things in the recipe.

For instance, if she makes meat loaf, she'll end up putting in some weird ingredient like Rhubarb or whatever. It may end up tasting good, but all too often, it's weird enough that I don't really want to try it.

But when she sticks to fairly traditional recipes, I think she does great in demonstrating how easy they are to make, and how delicious.

And yes, she can be annoying. I mean, no matter what she is cooking or eating, it can't always be "Yum-O" can it? When she does the travel eating shows, why can't she just come out and say every now and then that "Hey, this looks better than it tastes. They needed to make it with X instead."

Answer 3

I love Rachel Ray! I think she's a great cook and definitely has tips and tricks for saving time while making tasty and (relatively) healthy meals! People need to remember though that she is NOT a chef, she's never claimed that she was and she freely admits to it. A chef is somebody that has been formally trained at a culinary school or that has apprenticed under a trained chef. She's just a good cook, like you said!

Answer 4

She is definitely a good cook. I have made some of her 30 minute meals recipes and they were awesome!!

Answer 5

I have watched her show many times and liked it . I get ideas for my dinners all the time. I think that her methods and ingredients are very simple and easy to find in the ordinary grocery stores, not to mention quickly prepared. So what could be wrong with that????

Answer 6

I think she is a good cook. I have a lot of her cookbooks. They are easy to follow and the recipes taste delicious.

Answer 7

I've never eaten her food, but I like that she cooks basic stuff that the average home cook like me can handle.

Answer 8

She cooks easy rercipes but sometimes they are complicated. She can add to much stuff that some people dont like.

Answer 9

I love watching her shows! I think she makes dishes that are a little out there, but for the most part she is great. I wish she would bake more as my little one (age 5) loves to watch her to!

Answer 10

She may be a cook; If she is a great cook and a dietitian she won't be fat like this.
