Rachael Ray's Look + Cook
foodiewife from Monterey, CA
The camps are divided on Rachael Ray's popularity. I like her recipes, but I find her to be overbearing (as a TV hostess) and her prattling can get on my nerves. But, I am reviewing a cookbook and its recipes. I am visual, so when I buy a cookbook I am longing for photographs. We do eat with our eyes, so I was pleased to see that this is the first Rachael Ray cookbook I wanted to purchase. This book is perfect for beginner cooks. I'm more experienced, but I am a working wife and mom (well, my son is an adult but he's still at home). I have bookmarked a LOT of recipes that I plan to make for those busy work week nights. I give Rachael Ray kudos that she is teaching people to get back in to the kitchen, and to give up buying processed pre-fab food. She proves that it is possible to make fast food, from scratch, with ingredients that are not hard to find. I'm a fan, and not ashamed to admit it!

This is one of my favorite Rachael Ray books. I love that it has over 600 photos with the 100 main courses in pictures. Then it has 125 more 30 minute meals, sides, sauces and what she calls yum-o menus that don't have pictures. I have marked so many recipes to try from this one since I won it from a blog giveaway. It's autographed by Rachael too.
