"Rachael Ray: Food Entrepreneur" by Dennis Abrams
(from back cover)
When one of her recipes calls for "EVOO," cooks knowingly reach for the extra-virgin olive oil. When she declares a dish "Yum-O," those who have tried her meals can nod in agreement. Rachael Ray grew up surrounded by great restaurant cooks, so cooking was a natural and integral part of her life. She first began cooking at home with her mother, moved on to performing cooking demonstrations at local food markets, and finally ended up making successful cooking shows for television. How did an untrained cook who grew up in small-town, upstate New York go on to become one of the Food Network's biggest stars? Perhaps most intriguingly, what role has she played in America's ongoing food revolution? Rachael Ray tells the story of a woman who has made a career of encouraging others to cook, eat, and love food as much as she does. From her catalog of cookbooks to her line of cookware, Ray has become a powerful force in food education.

MY THOUGHTS: This is a very interesting book filled with lots of info about Rachael Ray and rise to stardom. Did you know she hasn't had any formal cooking training? I didn't, I thought she had been to chef schools. She has also been ridiculed for not having any formal schooling. Did you also know she had been mugged and gun whipped in New York? She survived but she soon moved back to her home in Massachusetts. If you want to know how she got her show on The Food Network, you'll have to read the book.
