Hi Rach and the Team
My 11 year old daughter and I absolutely love your show. My daughter has taken on a great interest in cooking. you are an inspiration to her. do you have receipies that she can do on her own with me worring about her being in the kichen by herself. Her fav is anything that has chicken but i would like to introduce her to the wide array of flavors out there.

Hi Rachael:
I know your new book is coming out in a couple of weeks and was wondering if you were doing another book tour and if so, are you coming to Massachusetts? That would be exciting!
April 17th, 2008 at 10:06 pm
I second Mandy’s comments, only swapping out Massachusetts for Nashville, TN. Are you book touring this one, or The Big Orange Book which comes out towards the end of 2008?
If you don’t come to Nashville, feel free to come to Cary (Raleigh). Thats where I went in Dec. 2007 and I loved the whole experience there.
Keep on rockin’, Rach! We love ya!

I am still trying to reach someone about the mixing instructions for the German Chocolate Cake. How can I get this info? Love your show. You seem to be so genuine. It is a nice change from other programs on TV.
April 18th, 2008 at 6:48 am
Hi Rachael, This is my first time responding, so I hope I’m doing it right!!! I subsribe to your magazine and watch your show faithfully everyday…LOVE them both, and so does my 16 month old grandson!! He has also watched since he was about 6 months old!! He knows the music when it comes on, even if it is advertised during the day and is very disappointed if it is not the show that is really coming up next…poor guy. Rach…I beleive by the sweet smile and starry, glassy-eyed look, he may be in love!!! And to top that off, he LOVES IZZY BOO also!! He can’t wait to see the end so he can catch a glimpse of the dog, which we think may or may not be your Izzy. I am his grandmother, and babysit during the week, and we watch it, and I was so proud when one day last week his mom, who is expecting his brother in July, was home sick, told him Rachael Ray was on. He heard the music already and was on his way anyway, and I told him to tell mom “Rachael Ray” and he tried his best with “Rachael” which is getting better, you would know he is saying Rachael, but he finally was so excited, he just told her “RayRay” as he ran to his spot and fell in love for an hour again!! Watch out John, there’s a blue-eyed blond after Rachael (and Izzy Boo)…Rachael keep putting a smile on our mornings with all your talents, and your cheerful and lovely smile…Kim and Cole

rachael you are beautiful, & i love your show.
April 18th, 2008 at 10:08 am
Hey Rachel and team, I love your show wouldn’t miss it for the world .. I have to tell you I don’t think a day / show goes by where I don’t learn something new not to mention all the great meal ideas.
One thing .. I just thought I’d throw your way … when you’re cooking I sometimes see you struggling with your mappine .. “which I also absolutely love” .. so I just thought I’d recommend .. you putting pockets on the corners of both sides … so you can then
use either side of the mappine .. you’ll never struggle with which side to put your hands in again.
Hope my suggestion helps,
Hugs,
Pat

Dear Rachael,
I love your show and your 30 Minutes Meals. My friends and I watch it on a big screen while we ride the stationary bikes at the YMCA.
I love your most of your reciepes but the most important thing that I learn are techniques and general combinations of foods. My husband and I have learned to love several new foods.
Thank you so much. You really cheer up my day.
April 20th, 2008 at 6:38 pm
Dear Rachael,
I just love your show! I know you hear it all the time. You have so many great ideas about how to get kids interested in food. But I wanted to throw out an idea to you. I am 16 weeks pregnant and of course now I have to change what I eat. I am a high risk pregnancy because I get blood clots. So now I am on blood thinners and am unable to eat things high in vitamin K. So that rules out broccoli, kale, spinach, etc. I want to make sure I am giving my baby all the nutrients he or she needs. It would be nice to have some reciepes that extra yummy and extra healthy for mommy and baby. Any suggestions? Thank you so much!!
April 21st, 2008 at 6:39 am
Dear Rachael,
I’m a 15 year old girl from Gothenburg in Sweden, and I really love to watch your show! Today I saw one episode, I think it’s from april last year, about Enterpride High School in Alabama, and I got really touched! I sat here crying during the whole show, and now I have a question about the song they played at the prom “You’re A Guardian Angel”. You said that Jamie hade made that song, was he one of the 8 that died? Or was he the one who had chosen the song for the prom? I would be really glad if you could answer these questions, ’cause I really love that song!
Hugs,
Maiken

Rach,
You are so fun and funny! Great show.
While watching today I so wanted to call in regarding the swimsuits. I caught only part of it as I was trying out how to get in contact with you.
Your guest mentioned that you should buy a suit a size larger. I disagree because if you really do get in the water and get it wet it will stretch and look ugly. I always get a “tight” fitting suit even since I was in grade school. I do now also even though my weight is horrific. I am trying to work on that too. Back to the swimsuit issue again.
She also mentioned to get a suit a couple of sizes larger if you wear a size 6. (I was 10 1/2 lbs when born and have Never been in a size 6) again back to the issue; she said this is because the suit my be too short in the trunk area. Wrong! at least in my case.
When two piece suits came out it was wonderful for me. I am very very short waited/thru the trunk and everything always rolled in the middle. So the hip height suits and Hip hugger pants came out they fit me at my waist. You see I am also short from the waist to the crotch and from the waist to just below my bra line. It is always very difficult to buy any clothing; with or without my fat! Also it is a joke when they say there is a flattening panel in the front to flatten that little tummy. The lycra/spandex whatever needs to be all of the way around. When it only in the front all the elastic does is pull the material from the back to the front. It needs the ‘pull’ all the way around. Just think about it! Most don’t have those tiny stomachs that need to be hidden. Get those suits back with the ‘body’ slimming lycra/spandex etc. all around…. also the high legs hum. they don’t cover the flab that hangs….. no one ever speaks about what or how to work on that hanging stuff. I also have the spare tire but the hangover (ha) is bad.
Thanks for listening.
Keep up the great work.

yay go Rachael Ray team!!!!!
Don’t you think you should have a “ask Rachael Ray a qesion” place so we can give her ideas and tell her stuff like our name. Unless it cost alot of money or something. then i will be happy. Not that im not all ready or anything but wouldn’t that be cool.
Im 11 and a big fan of Rachaels and wish i could be just like her when i grow up. but, i can’t unless i can get to know her better

April 24th, 2008 at 10:27 am
Hi Racheal,
First of all, I have been watching you since your show started and I love you and it. It is such a nice change from the usual talk shows. Now to the reason I am writing……It is in regards to the Leah Remini delima on weining her daughter off the bottle. I relate to how difficult it is, but just let me say that there are real reasons to why she needs to take this step. My grandaughter got the flu several years ago and while she was sick all she wanted was her bottle. She got the flu again right on top of that episode and, once again, only wanted her bottle. We assumed that some nourishment was better than nothing and gave her what she wanted. When my daughter took her to the doctor, they did a blood workup on her and found out that her red blood cell count was so low that she had to be hospitalized and needed a blood transfusion, and if left undetected, she could have died. You can only imagine how totally alarming this was. She appeared to be such a healthy happy child, and even a little over weight at the time. What we have learned since, is that too much milk can block nutrients that every child needs to grow healthy. It is also less satisfying, and therefore, requires more frequent bottles to satisfy her hunger. Now, I’m not saying that Sophie might be in the same condition. I’m not. Our grandaughter had the flue twice before this became such a severe problem, however, it does point out the necessity of what can happen if things don’t change. In terms of what might work for Leah and her delima, I have a few suggestions. I don’t have enough information about what they have tried, but what comes to mind first is…….have they tried “graduating” to a sipper cup? The reason I emphasized “graduating”, is that is how they need to promote it to their daughter, Sophie. She needs to feel like she is accomplishing something really great. Another thing that I tried with my own daughter, eons ago, when I was trying to get her to give up her blanket before she started school is………letting her know how difficult I know it is, but that there are rewards for doing the right thing. I found out that she wanted something very badly (a doll), and so I decided to use it as a tool to inspire her to take that step that was so difficult for her. I told her that she could have the doll that she wanted, but she had to earn it. She had to show me that she wanted it enough to give up her blanket, and then I would buy it for her. I left the decision to her and didn’t push it on her, and it didn’t take too long before she came to me and let me know that she was ready to rid herself of her blanket and, in return, I kept up my end of the deal. We celebrated her being grown up enough to make that decision on her own and she felt good about herself, and she got the doll she wanted so much and she kept the doll close to her for awhile, but did not cling to it like the blanket. We always have to try and understand what is going on in the mind of our children, and be able to use our knowledge to try and make sense of what will work the best for them. Leah needs to let Sopie know that everything that she does for her is out of love and conern for her needs, even when Sopie doesn’t agree. I wish her well and will be rooting for her in her pursuit of a happen ending. I feel for her pain in trying to do the right thing, but in the end, she needs to DO the right thing for Sophie. God Bless her family! Parenting is NOT EASY, but very satisfying! It is a gift!

Hello Rachael, I think i’m an excellent at home cook for my honey,4 kids including, 10 grand-kids. But my biggest problem is that i can’t make Sour Cream Chicken Enchilads. Chicken is our “FAMILY’S” favorite. Please help. I’m always watching your daily shows, including your favorite 30 minute meals. You’re the BEST, keep COOKING. Oh, almost forgot to tell you that i do the over the shoulders for luck, but instead I take one step backwards and shake the salt shaker over my shoulder, in the sink for good luck. I think it’s working.
April 24th, 2008 at 11:13 am
Hey Rach, I am your biggest fan in Illinois. I live in Pontiac and I watch your shows on food network and your talk show. I use your olive oil and your pans but I still cannot cook anything pretty much but hamburger helper. My kitchen is not real big on counter space and the fridge is old so I really have no space. I have your cook books but am afraid of trying anything. I know it doesn’t make sense. I love you so much and one day plan on coming to see your show. Our house recently got hit by a flood and all of our stuff down in the basement was lost and I have had a hard time coping with it all. Please help me to learn to cook something that will please my husband and my 2very picky girls 18and13 thanks nancy
April 24th, 2008 at 11:50 am
Hey Rach, I seen your show today on push over mom with the bottle. I have four children 20,17,11 and 4 which is on a bottle still. We are down to two bottles a day, also tells me that he doesn’t want one sometimes. There is hope. My first child was off the bottle at a year old,(listen to doctors)do what you feel is right. I feel my first daughter is a little insecure forcing her off. The second daughter gave it up at 3.5 on her own very secure child. My third child forced off when I was on vacation with my husband,by my sister(slight insecure) The fourth is telling me now he doesn’t want it at times. The first thing your guest Leah needs to do is have her daughter sleep in her own bed, and she is going to want that bottle for security if her parents aren’t next to her at night. When Leah’s daughter ask for a bottle, pretend you didn’t hear her and offer her something to eat or even a ice pop get her mind off, or get excited about doing something or go somewhere and do it. Believe me this works. We now have one during the day and one at night the last couple nights my son said he didn’t need one he is a big boy. Please Rach pass message on, p.s. my kids have no cavities. I guess I’m a push over mom also children great,healthy and smart follow your heart. P.S If doctors are so smart then why are we still asking the same questions on motherhood…… New York retired nurse/bussiness women and a 20 year professional mom lol feel free to contact me anytime
April 24th, 2008 at 1:03 pm
I, like so many are new to this site. I was looking through trying to figure out how to post a blog, under the blog section. However, I have had some difficultly figuring this out. Can someone please help with this problem.
Thanks.
April 24th, 2008 at 11:58 pm
I am brand new at blogging never a blog or message board writer before but Leah got my attention today, I would like for her to contact me I have some positive insight as to how she can help her family in a loving way if she is open to it, I have experience and references, I earnestly feel the need to share with her what is really behind the baby bottle blues, and that I have no intentions of telling her what to do or charging money but i will be direct and honest and i will share the insights that i have received, well thats that if some how she gets this message i will be grateful and happy to share. thank you thank you thank you love and light Rayma
April 25th, 2008 at 6:44 am
Rachel, I was wondering if you could have the Jonas Brothers on your show. I love them so much. Their my idols. The problem is I will probably have school that day. But i’ll ask my mom to record it. So when i come home I can watch it. My BFFL (Best Friend for life) Carly likes the Jonas Brothers too. She’s not as a big fan as me. But it’s ok.My other friend Nicole loves Nick as much as I love Joe! My friends and I are going to their concert but were sitting in the back. Even sitting in the back doesn’t matter. It’s a dream just to see them! I can’t tell you how much i like you show but i can’t tell you how much I LOVE JOE! Please try to get them on your show. I would love it! I need to get a tape for recording the show. Thanks! P.S please try! I would LOVE it! Performing would be awesome too!
April 25th, 2008 at 6:48 am
I love the Jonas Brothers. PLease have them on your show! I would love it. I will probably have school that day. But I will record it. Please have them. Thanks! I love your Show but not as much as I love Joe Jonas!
Thanks again byeee!
April 25th, 2008 at 6:56 am
RACHEL I AM FRIENDS WITH EMILY. SHE’S IN MY GRADE. I WOULD LOVE IF YOU HAD THEM ON YOUR SHOW TOO! I AM A BIG FAN OF NICK. JUST LIKE EMILY’S A BIG FAN OF JOE. AND OUR OTHER FRIEND AMANI LIKES KEVIN. HE’S A LITTLE OLDER BUT SHE STILL LIKES HIM. PLEASE TRY TO GET THEM ON YOUR SHOW. EMILY’S DREAM IS TO BE ON YOUR SHOW. HER OTHER DREAM AS YOU PROBABLY YOU ALREADY KNOW IS TO MEET THE JONAS BROTHERS. IF YOU CAN FOR MY FRIEND’S SAKE MAYBE YOU COULD INVITE HER TO YOUR SHOW FOR A SUPIRSE.

i love your show !!! keep doing the good work.. love ya. ida
April 25th, 2008 at 10:22 am
Judy made some great suggestions for Leah Remini above. Issues like this usually center around control, whether we want to admit it or not. Leah and Angelo are loving parents and they are giving all the control to Sophia - they just need to give her structured control; choices and they can influence her decisions which will give them some much needed control back.
I am home recuperating from foot surgery and watching your show has become a highlight of the day! When I go back to my office, I may start TIVOing it because I’m enjoying so much. Keep it up and I’m glad to see you seem happy personally. Tabloids are a bad thing!

Rachel,
I think your awesome! You are so funny and
smart. You are not a chef and you have the best show of all the chefs that are on food
network. You are so down to earth and I love you for that. You give young people hope that
if you work hard you can do anything you put
your mind too. Also your morning show is
great as well. I only get to see it on Fridays when I have off. I wouldn’t miss it.
I however get to see you all the time on
food network. Great job congradulations.

I saw the Leah show and have a suggestion for her. My grandaughter at three years old) stopped drinking from a bottle after her first visit to the dentist and he showed her pictures of what her teeth would look like if she continued to drink milk from a bottle. She stopped cold turkey from that point. Hope this will help.

Hi Rachael! Oh my gosh! I can’t beleive that I am actually sending you an e-mail.
I watch your show almost everyday if I am not volunteering at my son’s pre-school.
One day I would like to go to your show so I can finally meet you.
April 27th, 2008 at 10:00 pm
My Sweet Rachael,
Please excuse the use of this venue. However, this is the first thing I found to try to get in touch with you.
I wanted to tell you what a blessing your show has been to me.
My story starts watching your show with my husband a couple of weeks ago when Evett was on. She was telling about and showing pics of her experiences at the Dining by Design Charity Event in New York City where she used coffee beans for the floor covering in the space she designed.
My husband and I were marveling over all the pictures of hers and others designs when she mentioned the show travels to other cities and was coming to Kansas City next.
Since I live in a bedroom community just south of Lawrence, Kansas (GO JAYHAWKS!!!) and is sort of part of the greater metro area of Kansas City I was very very excited about the whole thing.
So. . . . .I went on-line to your website to look up the particulars. Alas, all I could find was that it was, in deed, coming to Kansas City but details were not to be had.
From your website, however, appeared the link to the National Chair for DIFFA to which I did click.
OK-this is becoming a long story I know. The long and the short of it all is that the National Chair contacted the Kansas City Chair who emailed me. Sent me a link for Kansas City. Then emailed me about involvment? Who, what, when, where, and how? OK, OK, OK! I’m getting to it.
Aaannnyyywwwaaayyy. . . . . . .they asked me to design a table (this was 2 weeks ago) I said yes (my husband rolled his eyes) and this evening I am home from my whirl wind week-end at Dining by Design with my own name (Donna’s Designs) on the little marquee standing at my space.
The Hobby Lobby Store in Lawrence, Kansas sponsored me to the extent that I was allowed to take anything and everything I wanted. My entire space from top to bottom, end to end (save the silverware) came from that store. How could I be so lucky. God is good, all the time!!!!!
I’m going to try some how to send you pictures. I’m not exactly sure how to do that.
But all I know is that it would have never happend if I had not seen your show that morning sitting up in bed with my husband (I’ll explain later).
I love you, Rachael. You ARE the woman!!!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Forever and Ever,

April 28th, 2008 at 8:27 pm
Hi Rachael. I love your show. I live in central ny. I am always hearing about how you grew up in upstate ny not to far from here. You are an inspiration to me. Knowing that you come from a small town just shows that you can do anything you put your mind to.Keep up the good work and congratulations.
April 29th, 2008 at 8:54 am
Hey Rachael, Love your show…you focus on the important areas of life. I would love to see, rather than the 7 Wonders of America, the 7 Wonders of Life.
1. To see
2. To hear
3. To speak
4. To taste
5. To touch
6. To laugh
7. To love.

Rachael,
This is not really a comment at all; however, I am a member of Northeast Baptist Church in Clarksville, TN. Several years ago we had a family with the last name of Baumgardner who were members there. The daughter of the family was named–what else but Rachael. The spelling was also the same, and I was just wondering if that was a conincidence or not.
Sincerely,
Barbara

Hi Rachel.
A greeting from Denmark. I am a big fan of your show. Cooking isn´t always the funniest thing in the world but after watching your show i am filled with new ideas.
Danish cooking is very different from yours but I use a lot of your tricks and tips to make it more interesting. My family loves it. Thank you for a wonderfull show and for putting some fun in our meals again.
Lots of love Jane

Hey hey! I totally love your cooking show 30-Minute Meals, I watch it everyday on my lunch break! I get great ideas for dinner that day! I already LOVE to cook so it’s fun getting tips & tricks from your show!
When I was in Cuba, I tried these meat rolls (I call them Cuban Eggrolls) and they were so yummy! They seem simple to make, it was with slow cooked ground beef, veggies, and spices rolled and fried like an eggroll. I was just wondering if you knew what they were or had a recipe for them!
You are a true inspiration. YOU GO GIRL!
MUCH LOVE, Renata

i tried emailing the kids section but it wouldnt go threw so ill put it on here.
Hi, My name is Taylor Sacolic, im 16 years old and i live in Coalport Pennslyvania. I wanted to let you know how touched i was when you did the show about people abusing and neglecting dogs. Im glad that someone feels as strongly as i do about it. I feel so passionate about saving abandond and abused animals that i want to become a dog rehabilist, my dream in life is to save dogs and other animals from abusive owners. To see someone just not care about the well being of animals makes me sick. To think someone could be so heartless to a helpless animal is so crude and aweful. I feel that animals did nothing to be treated badly and all they want is to be loved and cared for and they deserve nothing less than that. About a year ago my dog, Stoopy, had 5 puppies. My gram wouldnt let me keep them even though i loved them like i gave birth to them myself, so we had to give them away. A couple months later i found out that one of the people we gave one of the puppies to, killed the puppy intentionally. I was so upset i cried for months over it. After that experience i wanted to dedicate my life to giving abused and abadond dogs a second chance at a good life. I want to rehabilitate and work with abused dogs and make them suitable for adobtion. I want to work at a humaine society, taking care of the dogs, cleaning the cages, playing with them, walking them, bathing them. I want to treat them the way they should be treated. Unfortunealty there are no oppertunities like that around where i live, and im afraid that i will never get the chance to persue my dream and help dogs that deserve to be helped. I just wanted to let you know im so glad that you feel the same way i do about it, and how grateful i am to see someone care so much. Thanks for reading my email and listening to my story. Have a healthy and happy life!
Best Regards,
Taylor Sacolic

hEy rAcHeL!! hope you have the chance to read this yourself:):)
I’m currently a scholar in South Africa and everyday while I’m at school, your show is on.. so with me not being able to watch it, i just record it on my t.v!:) AS SOOON as I’m home, i turn on the t.v and switch to the recording of ‘RACHEL RAY’. The funny thing is that every time I’m about to watch it, I know i’m going to walk away inspired!:) So I just wanted to thank you for helping me get through some tough times in my life even though you don’t know that! I think it’s amazing that someone can inspire so many people, most of which you don’t even know!:)

HEY Rach! Love your show watch it everyday! Great food, Great fun! I would like to see a HUMAN LAB TEST done on “Stretch Marks”.. I don’t believe you guys have ever done that before, But something that could demish old and prevent new stretch marks IF there is anything,, do lotions-creams-oils really work?? Or if you really want them gone do you have to go for the expensive surgerys etc. Thanks LOVE your show!
