Racheal Ray?

Question

What are your thoughts on Racheal Ray? I am aware that she's a cook and not a chef, but what do you truly think of her. Her iron chef america appearance, her show(30 minute meals), and overall her personaliy.

Answer 1

I like Rachael to a certain point. I do watch her 30 minute meals show on the Food Network and I do love her Tasty Travels show on Food Network. Her talk show is a bit much, she is very loud and kind all over the place. I like Rachael but not to the extent that I like say Paula Deen or Giada. Giada also has a Travel show on Food, I think is is called Weekend Getaways with Giada. She is much more quiet and reserved and with some more manners I guess you could say. Giada is not as abrasive I will say. But, I like them both and will continue to watch.

Answer 2

I love her. I watch 30 Minute Meals pretty much every time it is on. Also, $40 A Day is a really fun and informative show. I have never actually made any of her recipes, not because they don't look good but just because I usually just throw something in the microwave. I am not as addicted to her daytime show, but I do like it. Also, I agree with another person who said they didn't like Bobby Flay's uppity attitude. Yes, I think he is very talented but he doesn't need to keep reminding us.

Answer 3

I admire the fact that as an ambitious young woman,she has become a successful cook,author and television personality. Her $40 A Day show is well researched and realistic. Her 30 Minute Meals is a little bit of a stretch,considering a lot of the ingredients she uses have to be pre-prepped before she preps them on the show. Her television persona is too perky for me,but considering the bunch of blond bubble heads that usually fill television these days(and their nightclub antics)she is actually a gal of substance.

Answer 4

I'm a HUGE Rachel Ray fan! I don't really watch her NBC show much, but I love her 30 min meal shows on Food Network. I've learned a lot from her and she makes cooking fun and easy! I love her personality too!

Answer 5

Oh my goodness, I just love Rachel Ray and her shows. 30 Min. Meals and her new t.v. show both rock. I think that it is just awesome how someone from very humble beginnings can just "DO IT" in this country and can literally go from an "unknown" to a household name and brand is just so cool. From her E.V.O.O., cookbooks, pots and pans to her magazine, she just inspires me. I would love to see her make a line of aprons for sale that look ultra contemporary for the modern-day cook.(you know, something that does not look like your grandma's apron) Also, her own brand of that "grill" seasoning that she is always using all the time on her food.

Answer 6

I think she's OK, but you never know what a persons really like on TV. I heard food critics hate her food, and the only reason she has a show and is so popular is because of her personality. My friends have cooked some of her recipes and said they where awful, and they can cook.

Answer 7

I think she has a nasal voice and she irritates the hell out of me when I see or hear her. I don't think she has any good qualities of being what is considered even a good "cook". Not very professional from my point of view. Her show is really about her ego. Who's she sleeping with...the producer? Certainly not her husband...lol. Her private life has nothing to do with it but I think she should head for the soup kitchen and do her tricks there.

Answer 8

Actually, I really enjoy her! Yeah, she's dorky and completely hyper, but she comes across as a real person--someone I can relate to. She was out of her league on IC, but I respect anyone who takes on a challenge and does his/her best with a good attitude.

Bobby Flay, on the other hand, irks me to no end! I don't care for his "uppity" condescending attitude. Anyone that loses that many time on "Throw Down" should adjust his "I'm the best there ever was" perception of self!

Answer 9

I think Rachel Ray is fantastical when she cook she make it so simple and I like simple when it come's to cooking. she has a great personality especially when cooking and her appearance is great she is not fussy when it come's to clothing, now that she has lost weight. so Rachel Ray keep doing what you're doing, I'm learning a lot.

Answer 10

I have this love/hate thing with her. I hate her personality, too bubbly, babbling, it just makes me go into a sugar shock. However, her food looks and sounds good, and I have total respect for how she worked herself up in the world and all her business ventures while never having been to culinary school. So yeah, I have her cookbooks and subscribe to her magazine.
