United States of America (Press Release) March 31, 2008 --
Rachael Domenica Ray is a two-time Emmy-nominated television personality and author. She hosts the syndicated talk/lifestyle program Rachael Ray and two Food Network series, 30 Minute Meals and Rachael Ray's Tasty Travels. Ray has also written a series of cookbooks based on the 30 Minute Meals concept, and launched a magazine, Every Day with Rachael Ray, in 2005.
Prior to the launch of her talk show, Ray hosted three other Food Network shows, 30 Minute Meals, $40 a Day, and Inside Dish.
Ray teaches simple recipes that she claims can be prepared in 30 minutes or less. She uses ingredients such as garlic and chicken stock as simple ways to boost flavors. She often uses recipes that include her Italian and Cajun heritage, as well as fresh herbs, whenever possible. She believes that measuring "takes away from the creative, hands-on process of cooking" and instead favors approximations such as "half a palmful". On her television programs she has used catch phrases such as "E.V.O.O." (extra-virgin olive oil), "yum-o," "so delish," "G.B." (garbage bowl), "Oh my gravy!", "entreetizer" (entree-sized appetizer), "stoup" (cross between a soup and stew), and "how good is THAT?"
She states: she cannot bake (because you have to measure ingredients), she cannot make coffee, and is notorious for burning bread under the broiler. Ray says her Sicilian maternal grandfather, Emmanuel Scuderi, served as a strong influence on her cooking. To critics of her shortcut techniques, Ray responds, "I have no formal anything. I'm completely unqualified for any job I've ever had."
Her 30 Minutes Meals set features a yellow Model 61C Chambers stove from the 1950s, notable for its top-opening broiler, super-insulated oven, and unique Thermowell. The stove is noticed by viewers so much so that people selling them often refer to Chambers ranges as "the Rachael Ray stove". This has led to an increased interest in saving and restoring these stoves, inspiring two online discussion forums and fan websites, as well as numerous references to them in the media.
On November 12, 2006, Ray and Mario Batali defeated the team of Bobby Flay and Giada De Laurentiis on an episode of the program Iron Chef America during which cranberries were the secret ingredient.
On March 18, 2007, Food Network debuted a Rachael Ray episode of its special Chefography series.
In 2007, The Oxford American College Dictionary announced the addition of the term EVOO (short for extra virgin olive oil), which Ray has helped popularize.
