I know I read this quite some time ago. Pretty on par for her era back then - a few interesting recipes, but all her recipes from this period seem to have a similar flavor profile.

In an act completely unlike him, my Dad bought this for me for Christmas at the local Sam's Club. We both really like Rachael Ray: she's cute, spunky, smart and makes some wicked good dishes.

I must say, however, that I've only tried one recipe from her book, and it was rather ho-hum. Something I did wrong? Plus, don't look to this book if you're lookin' to slim down. But hey, it's Rachael, when have you EVER expected significantly healthy as a criteria?

Who doesn't love Rachael Ray's style of cooking. This book has lots to choose from, all different and easy recipes with ingredients that are easy to find.
