30-Minute Meals with Rachael Ray Reviews

 Working full time and cooking out of necessity, it is often difficult to create new and exciting meals that not only are easy and quick to prepare, but also tasty and can fit into my budget.  After watching Rachel Ray's 30 minute meals for the first time, I thought, wow, this can be done with a little organization and planning.  I was just so glad to see someone who cooks like me.  She doesn't make the hoity- toity fancy foods that won't fill you up. She doesn't even really measure.  She cooks regular things like you and I and she does it in under thirty minutes. 

 Not only does Rachel...

I'm a novice cook, but I like to think that I've gotten better over the past few years as I've cooked dinners for friends, family, and my husband.  I don't really watch a lot of TV, but lately I've found myself watching a couple of hours of the Food Network Channel each night.  One of my favorite shows to watch is Thirty Minute Meals with Rachael Ray.

As the name implies, this is a 30 minute show that follows Rachael Ray as she cooks a "healthy and delicious meal from start to finish".  I've seen her make steaks, pork chops, pasta, fish, and huge salads, almost all of which have looked good...

When I first started watching Rachael Ray, it was interesting to see this woman with all of these innovative hints and tricks for cooking "delicious and healthy meals." But after watching her for a while, you'll realized it's the same thing over and over and over. She'll pull armloads of food from the refridgerator, then giggle how her mother tells her it's better to make multilple trips. She always "burns the bread and doesn't bake." Did you notice that cumin always "leaves a smoky flavor in the background." A healthy meal never starts with frying pancetta or bacon, not sure how Rachael can...

      Seriously?....O.k. I've just read some of these reviews and it's interesting that they only come from the men! Hmmmmmmm!! I wonder why. For those who have no taste in fine food and great cuisine, then ,yes Rachael Ray is for you. Now for those who know what good food is all about would highly agree with me that her show and cuisine(and I take that word lightly) is in dyre needs of some creativity,imagination,presentation and most of all......flavor!!!!!!  Now,I will give it to her,30 minute meals are very convenient and I myself don't really like to spend hours in the kitchen cooking...

I enjoy some of her recipes , she seems to make them so easy, I go to the food network site and click on review before I try them to see what others have to say about the recipe and if they try some different or add something ..

But dont like her voice either, and saying EVO all the time is getting old.. But she does make her recipe seems easy.

Rachael Ray is my kitchen hero! I began watching 30 minute meals in 2001, and became addicted immediately! I love to cook, but never have the time. But since watching Rachael I've been able to make meals in just minutes and enjoy them. My family loves her recipes! She is fun to watch and very informative....Thanks Rachael for all you do!! Keep up the great work!
