Yum-o! This new
magazine is delicious! You probably have seen this pretty
new yorker cooking up some fast but nutritious meals in the Foodnetwork in
her beloved TV show 30 minute meals or scooping what the celebs are
cooking in the Inside Dish or travelling around the country in her 40$ a day
or Tasty travels shows letting all of us know which places are the
best places
to eat. The magzine I’m talking about is Everyday with Rachael Ray.
And what a magazine!! It’ll take to a culiranistic around the world trip
and back! Get your taste passport, fill your bags with groceries and off you
go!
Rachael Ray is hard not to be noticed these days, she is one of the most
popular Celebrity Chefs, and brings fresh ideas and fun to kitchen like
no
other! I was lucky to get the last copy of August/September 2006 Issue
of
Everyday with Rachael Ray in my local grocery store, it is hot off the
press and
quickly off the magazine racks! People are workshipping Rachael in a
goddess-like manner, she is funny, pretty and she knows what she is
talking
about:
good food! And don’t we all love that?
The magazine is a natural next step for the TV shows, and the several
cook
books she has written. For those who just can’t get enough Rachael the
magazine offers a peak to Rachael’s life - who she is and what else but
Food she loves (her new husband and her cute dog), the magazine gives
ideas like
where to buy same kind of earrings she is wearing or how to get the
Furi
knives, she uses on the air (from her own webpage) and how throw a
party
like Rachael or where to travel (with an excellent best-places-to-eat-
guide,
of course). Most importantly, the magazine is all about good food! And
best
of all, it teaches you everything in a no nonsense manner, taking
nothing for
granted and telling that you can cook
great food too – this magazine is
for all
the Regular Joes and Janes too, not just for fancy food junkies or for the
fashionable trendsetters. The range of
recipes is vast and furious, there
is
something for everyone in the mix, they vary from Sloppy Joes to Sushi,
from
Tuna to Tomatos, from Chinese to Italian, from Baking a Cake to
Barbequing
a Steak, from Ships to Dips. There are 57 recipes for the price of the
magazine $3.99 – a small investment for a big pay back!
The magazine is not just all about Rachael, it is also about you! You can
contribute by telling your best family recipe and share the story behind
it, like
Amy from Florida shared her Grandmother’s Apple Cake, or you can
send
your best tips, and worst/funniest mistakes, like using peppermint
toothpicks
to fasten the chicken Cordon Bleu to accidentally give it a minty taste,
like
Patricia in Canada did, or you can send in your favourite recipes and
Rachael
will share the best of them with all of us. Don’t forget to mail your pet’s
photo either – he might be the next Pet of the Month! And don’t we all
love to
sneak into celebrity lives and hear little cossipy type bits of details of
them?
Well, Rachael does that too! She goes straight to the fridge and shares
the
celebrity fridge content with us or even better: asks the celebs to tell
their
breakfast, lunch and dinner of one day.
If you like good food, don’t miss this magazine! Even if you don’t really
have
time or don’t know how to cook, it’s ok - Rachael will teach you! Like
she
says in her TV show ”good meal is only 30 minutes away” and there are
several great meals that you can make in 30 minutes or less with only a
few
ingredients. There is also a whole one week’s dinner menu, with easy
shopping list what you need for them! All the recipes come with great
photos
and the colorful pictures talk more than thousand words. My personal
favourite is the Wine Pairing – on the end of the magazine there is a list
of
wines that pair well with the dinner recipes in the issue. How cool is
that?
