    I think that this is one of the best shows on the Food Network channel. Rachael Ray is my favorite Food Network host and she shows us how she makes the most tastiest food. I don't watch this show a lot. I usually watch this show when I'm in the mood to look at food. Weird, huh?. Anyways, I say that I only watch this show maybe 4-5 times every month. This is one of the shows that my mom and I watch together though and we both love to see what Rachael Ray is making. My mom has used some of Rachael Ray's recipes and the recipe is absolutely delicious. I love how Rachel Ray is always so specific on what ingredients to use in order to make that food. For example, she made the stuffed zucchini and pasta and it was just a tasty recipe. There are other recipes that I remember watching Rachael Ray teaching how to make such Balsamic Grilled Plums With Vanilla Cream, Butter Nut Sundaes, Mini Italian Mud Pies, Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms, Mint Chocolate Chip Cookies with Ice Cream, and many more food that I have seen Rachael Ray make. I used to watch this show a lot when I was 8 years old but now I don't watch it as much I used to. I still enjoy this show and I tune into this show at least maybe 4-5 times every month. Overall, this one of the best shows on Food Network and Rachael Ray is an awesome Food Network host. 10/10moreless

    My husband and I are both big RR fans; I like her streamlined style of cooking, my husband thinks she's cute!

    I've been cooking for over 30 years... I've cooked my weight in Saltimbocca and Osso Bucco and Risottos, I've cooked for vegetarians, for vegans, for picky eaters and for gourmands. Towards the end of my dad's days, the only time he would eat like he had an appetite was when I'd go over and cook short ribs or hawaiian chicken or Cajun red beans and ham. So I've *cooked*. And I've found that, much as I *can*, I no longer *want* to spend all day in the kitchen making something scrumptious; RR is a terrific alternative for us. I've found that, by using my food processor for recipes with a lot of chopping involved, most of her recipes I can get done in... yes, 30 minutes or less. At the end of it, we have a delicious, easy, satisfying meal with minimal clean-up and a gold star for eating our veggies... What's not to like?moreless

    Rachel Ray is well known for her shows at Food Network. This show 30 Minute meals is in my opinion the best one. IN 30 minute meal. Rachel Ray makes a whole meal for 2 for 4 for 6 people in just under 30 minutes. She makes excellent burgers. and steaks. Her Stoup are great and her secrets to fast cooking is awesome. This is one of my favorite past time and although i dont cook like she does i try. She could make you a steak dinner for a cheaper price than going out. or fix your whole family a thanksgiving dinner in an hour, it one of her special shows. She does everything from soup to stew to burgers to salads to pizza to steak to pasta to ice cream and many more.moreless
