There are a lot of cooking shows I like to watch but the recipes are really too advanced. I like the fact that Rachael's recipes are doable. Plus she is a major Babe!!!

I like Rachael Raye, some of her meals i dont know if i would personally make. I like her personality and how she carries everything from her pantry to the cooking area and never drops a thing. Way to go Girl!

While the idea of 30 Minute Meals is a good one, the host Rachel Ray though she knows what she is doing does get a bit annoying.

SHe never cooks anything that looks tasty.... her meals are so quick because she ususally uses store-bought and pre prepared items.. and she just GETS ON MY NERVES! I've never heard the word YUMMY so many times than I do when I watch her show "Fabby", "Delic", "Yum" SHUT UP!

I love Rachel Raye in 30 minute meals and $40 a day. It is great to watch someone with a kind of enthusiam that will get me motivated to do recipes quicker and with a different slant to them. I also love that she gives that little extra hint at the bottom of the screen. Even though I know some of them, it is a nice reminder. I am a chef who can appreciate new and fun ways to fix a meal. I also love that she let's us into her life, and how the food fits into it. I am open to many different cooking ideas, and she has fulfilled this need. So thank you Rachel Raye, I think you are great!

Certainly the concept is great. Who would not be interested in learning how to do a really nice meal in just 30 minutes? Unfortunately, every website is cluttered with people talking about HER! She is cute, some people can't stand that. She is bubbly and enthusiastic, lots of people hate that. Some people are determined to suffer their whole lives away. Just drive on.

Likeable hostess. Knowledgeable. Easy recipes anyone can make. Recipes do not require specialty tools.

I love Rachel Ray!! She really takes the stress out of making good, healthy, and complete dinners for my family. I have gained a lot of knowledge and, more importantly, self-confidence by watching her show. I have tried many of her recipes and love them all. Thank you, Rachel, for showing us that REAL people can cook well and that we don't have to be perfect.

Finally a place to vent my frustration! I tried to contact her or the network via e-mail, but to no avail. What is the purpose of using abbreviations if you always follow up with the long version (EVOO - Extra Virgin Olive Oil)? I cring every time I know she is about to say it. Plus, she is extremely repetitive and ultra flaky. The only reason why I tolerate the show is for a new take on quick preparation of meals, but I don't think she has the kind of personality that should be on TV, hence the reason why I cannot watch $40-a-day. And her standard rolling of her eyes as her indication that she is enjoying what she eats is infuriating.

I started to watch the show because I think Rachael is a babe. She still is a babe, and now I have many cool recipes to make. I hope she comes to do a $40 a day thing in my town, I want to meet her. She is gorgeous.

This woman is a methamphetamine addict. If you look at her eyes, you'll notice they twitch. And, I want to slap her when she says "Flaffle". Anything else I haven't mentioned?

A few months ago we were finally able to receive the Food Network on our cable and one of the first shows I because thrilled with is 30 minute meals. Ms. Ray is charming! I am an avid cook but have become bored with cooking the same recipes over and over. Ms. Ray gives quick, simple, tasty recipes that anyone can make. She appears to be genuinely friendly and really enjoys what she does. Her "giggle" as my son and I call it always makes us smile. I feel like I have spent a valuable 30 minutes with Ms. Ray as several of the recipes that I have tried are delicious and they do not require me to bankrupt my checking account when I go shopping for the ingredients. I will continue to be a fan.

She says "mmm" before the fork has barely gotten past her lips; not near enough time for the flavor to hit her tastebuds and making her reaction genuine. Her voice defeats the purpose of a cooking show; it destroys my appetite. Two stars it deserves because: A) Could be used as a great appetite suppressant (for all you plump ones out there) and B: There is such thing as too much enthusiasm. Then again, she doesn't scare me as bad as the Forever Rigid Martha Stewart.

This show is fun to watch because it's obvious that the Rachel Ray (who comes off very down to earth compared with several of her cooking show collegues) is not only good at but also enjoys her work. Her dishes are easy to do with clear directions. What's more, they don't call for some odd, overpriced ingredient that can only be found in a specialty shop in another solar system. All her recipes are downloadable on FoodTV.com also. One of the most practical, useful shows on TV.

I just love her too. She's got the background and yet isn't a snob about her skills a la Martha. I've tried many of her dishes and more often than not they come out really well. She's a lot of fun too.

Her voice is like nails on a chalk board. I could just slap her every time she shortens EVERY word; cookin', eatin' boilin'. You get the picture. Listen next time. She'll make you crazy. And don't get me started on EVOO. Thank goodness for the remote control, zap that freak right off my tv.

I just have to turn the channel when she comes on. So annoying and so overly "down home" cheerful. Her meals are actually very good, but I just can't stand HER!! But nothing is as annoying as her $40 a day show. That makes me want to break the tv. YIKES!!!

This is Bryan, and I think that Rachel puts alot of time and work into the show. She is just like the people who view the show, and that makes the show more interesting. To conclude the meals are easy to prepare and good to eat. enjoy your show Rachel.

The information and format are good, but the host has got to go. Rachel Ray is just too annoying. Though not as bad as her 40 dollar a day program.

Ok so i'm in love with Rachael Ray. This show is great and fun to watch. She is easy to watch. I do most of the cooking as my wife works longer hours than I do as I am a producer. I have found many great recipes and ideas from her show. Her other show.....$40 a Day is also worth watching. Check them out I think you will enjoy.
