Rachael Ray is everywhere these days, sort of like Velveeta over Super-Duper Super Bowl Enchiladas.
She has four shows on the Food Network, including "30 Minute Meals," on which she chops and stirs - often frantically, sometimes haphazardly - her way to an easy dinner in less than half an hour. Miss Ray has authored 16 books, and she has a lifestyle magazine, Everyday With Rachael Ray.

NEW YORK - Although Rachael Ray is one of America's best-known foodies, no one is likely to call her a gourmet.
But the maven of "30 Minute Meals" certainly qualifies as a gourmand. The 5-foot-3 dynamo loves eating food at least as much as she loves cooking it.

Being a shade tree chef and closet foodie, I'm no stranger to the Food Network. And of all the FN culinary faces, Rachael Ray seemed to be the least pretentious. Ray didn't knock your boots off with Swordfish Spiedini or Mongolian Ginger Beef. She'd sit you down easy with a hearty bowl of Italian Wedding Soup.
