I love her cooking, and how she and her kitchen color scheme are color coordinated.
And her personality is nice, too.
I always learn something. How about you?

Oh my God if I hear her say "tablescape" or embellished one more time I'm gonna scream!

The Semi-homemade cooking concept is cool, but if you go to foodnetwork.com and do a search for her name in the Recipe Search, you'll see that almost all of her items get bad ratings when compared to other cooks.
And I find her attitude and the color-coordination to be a little creepy.
Rachel Ray may not be the best chef in the world, but if you're looking for fairly quick meals you should try her stuff rather than Sandra's.
Oh, and if you like learning about cooking, check out Good Eats. God, I love that show. Alton Brown is my hero.

It makes me laugh (in a bad way). So if I want to laugh out loud and there's nothing else on, I watch it and I crack up. Her recipes are absolutely ridiculous and have poor ratings on Food Network.com. The other day she said, "I am going to make some guacamole, and it starts with some store bought guacamole." Then she added sour cream and she's like, "Everyone is going to LOVE this!"
As I previously wrote in my own Q, I said she made some dessert by taking a store-bought apple pie, destroying it, and then reassembling it with whipped cream. Then she said, "Don't you just LOVE Semi-Homemade, you can take one thing and turn it into something completely different!"
Also, everything she makes MUST match. If she makes a cranberry cocktail, her Tablescape (which she probably spends hundreds of dollars on), has to be RED! If she is wearing a flowery white dress, her Tablescape is white and contains flowers.
She drinks sooooooooo much! Every show she makes a cocktail and she mixes so much hard liquor. In one episode, I saw her mix five different alcohol beverages. She rushes on all her food because she is so excited to get to her cocktail time!
Overall, her Semi-Homemade show is unintentionally funny and ridiculously lame. With all her bad ratings, why is she still cooking (or trying to cook) on The Food Network? That is my real question here! I think they want to show that cooks can be skinny. I doubt she eats her food - she is probably too drunk to eat anything. Also she is in the process of making one thing, goes to break, and then it is miraculously cooked entirely when she comes back. Also, she has to think about what she is supposed to be cooking, the only thing she remembers are her cocktails.

I agree with you she is a very "Pulled together" hostess ...she has a way that makes you want to try her ideas....I really cook from scratch since I'm home all the time and not in a rush but I like her suggestions ...you can always learn from all those gals and guys on the "food channel" . Her other ideas besides cooking are good too like if having a party she suggests different ways to decorate...etc.
There are enough choices for all of us on TV....so many different personalities...and different ethnic foods to chose from.
Best of luck in your cooking!

I can't believe her show is still on. It was a few years ago I first saw it, and thought it was horrible.
How can she call her show Semi-Homemade? There's nothing home made about it. Just because you make a box cake mix and throw some store bought jam in between the layers doesn't make it home made - or even semi. It's a box mix that you baked in your oven.

I don't like the amount of canned of stuff she choses. She is fake just like her cheese.

I think shes fake, annoying, and makes everything with some sort of liquor involved.
