I think Rachel Ray has some really wonderful and practical ideas for food. Her Rachel Ray magazine is very cool, but honestly, I have a hard time watching her Food Network show for more than 10 minutes because her over perkiness and hyperness gets to be like nails on chalkboard for me.
Amateur Gourmet blogger Adam Roberts has a new gig on the Food Network called the FN Dish, and he gets to interview FN stars like Rachel. In this interview clip, Rachel is pretty calm and low key. I love it! I wish she could be more down to earth like this on her TV show. I'd watch more. btw, Rachel just scored some brownie points with me because she is a big Law & Order fan as I am. Wouldn't that be hilarious to have her show open with the donk-donk sound and then every 10 minutes on the screen we see the L&O type black screens like, "FN Kitchen...10:33 a.m.....Feb 22, 2008." OK, maybe only I think that would be funny.
