Rachel Ray [ also spelt Rachael Ray ] rose to fame during her syndicated TV shows ’30 Minute Meals’ and ‘Rachel Ray’, and became so famous that she was asked to endorse Burger King products and Rachel Ray Knives. She enlarged her fame by authoring several cookbooks, launching her own magazine ” Every Day with Rachael Ray “, and appearing on TV’s Food Network.
Rachel Ray Knives attain Celebrity Status
Putting her name to Rachel Ray Knives, is the kind of move that many Celebrities make, when they particularly love a product. Having worked with and become a friend of Oprah’s, she was also listed in Forbe’s Magazine in 2007, as having earned 16 million that year.
But even more important than that are the things she teaches:
1. Who knew you could make soup in less than an hour? I thought homemade soup took six or more hours to make. I was pleasantly surprised to learn you can add vegetables, meat and spices to ready-made stock and there you have a soup!
2. Olive oil makes everything taste good. Spread it over bread, salad, cooked veges or pasta, and taste the diffference.
3. Homemade pasta sauce and salsa can actually taste better than store-bought.
4. Squeeze a lemon turned upright so the seeds don’t get into dish you are making.
5. Wash herbs after you get them home and wrap them in a paper towel.
6. Always use a separate, plastic cutting board for meat, so that the bacteria from meat do not enter your raw salad ingredients, or your mildly cooked vegetables, causing serious stomach ailments.
7. There are a million ways to make a burger.Rachael has turned making burgers into an art form. For me, a burger used to be made up of a beef patty, cheese, lettuce, in a bun. Now, I’m making turkey, tuna and lamb burgers topped with cheeses and vegetables, which I would have never envisioned on a burger.
8. If you cook healthy, you can eat more.When I started experimenting with Rachael’s recipes, I was surprised at how at easy it was to start eating more vegetables. It was nice to be able to have a second helping of Ginger and Lemon Steamed Vegetables, and not feel guilty about it as I would when I’d have another piece of pizza. Not only that, but I started to crave fresh, healthy food.
