YOUR RESULT: Rachael Ray! How good is THAT?
If you can throw together a great meal from frig to table in 30 minutes flat, with a handful of this and that, you would be a true friend of Rachael Ray. Food Network chef Rachael Ray has taken flak for her lack of formal training and her giggling personality on screen, but you have to admire her perky attitude toward life. She went from a clerk at Macy's to the head of an empire that is beginning to resemble successful women such as Oprah and Martha Stewart. Check out her recipe books, magazine (Every Day With Rachael Ray), and talk show, Rachael Ray. Most critics would put her in the class of food network cooks (as opposed to the true chefs), but her enthusiastic love of preparing food won over many down-to-earth cooks throughout the country. Ms. Ray's frequent use of the acronym EVOO, (or extra virgin olive oil), prompted The Oxford American College Dictionary to adopt it as a new term in 2007.
