Rachael Ray 30-Minute Meals 2

Since her debut on the Food Network as the talented, free-spirited cook and host of 30 Minute Meals, Rachael Ray has found an audience, fans who love her, as much as they do her inventive recipes. In this first companion book to the show, Rachael pulls out all the stops, wielding her EVOO or extravirgin olive oil, and trusty Santoku knife with her typical, "you can do it" flair, and she has produced a superb collection of recipes that she says will "make you look way-cool." Look for your favorites, and feel free to mix and match recipes, as you like. "That's part of the fun," says Rachael, and "having fun in the kitchen is what cooking is all about." Divided into seven chapters (Make Your Own Take-Out, Monday thru Friday Dinner Specials, Family-Style Suppers, Double-Duty Dinners, Passport Meals, Big Nights: Very Special Dinners, and Healthy Hunger Busters), these recipes, full of big flavors, are disarmingly simple to make, and they call for ingredients found in any well-stocked supermarket. On Rachael's wish list for her fans: Take 30 minutes out of your busy day, cook a great home-cooked meal with fresh, healthy ingredients for your friends and family, and spend quality time with those you love. In her words: "Just do it. It's only dinner, but the rewards will last a lifetime."Rachael Ray is the author of 'Rachael Ray 30-Minute Meals 2', published 2003 under ISBN 9781891105104 and ISBN 1891105108.
