I watched Rachael Ray’s show on Monday December 1/08. I am looking for that receipe. It was something to do with chicken and cuscuos with tangerine sauce. Could someone please let me know where I can find it. It looked very delicious and it didn’t require much time to prepare it. Thank you

I just want to let you know my Pug and GermanSherd love your dog food. This is all they eat, also many times I find my two cats eating it instead of their food. Thank you for a wonderful product.

My niece is expecting a good pork tenderloin recipe for CHRISTmas. I would like to stuff it, maybe with a spinach stuffing. Does someone have a good but simple recipe for me?

I never make candy for the holidays. Its not my thing. Last year I made your 5 minute fudge recipe in a variety of flavors. The wreaths turned out beautifully and I ended up giving them as gifts to my neighbors and family members. Thanks!

Rachael,
I make your x-mas wreath fudge for all of my neighbors, the kids’ teachers, and for family and friends every year. I have been doing this now for about 5 years and every year everyone ask if they will be receiving some. But instead of using a round cake pan, I use a bundt pan, that way the hole is alrady there and you don’t have to mess with cellophane or the can. I also crush up arabian candy and sprinkle in the bottom of the bundt pan to look like little ornaments. I then add a little bow out of ribbon and stick it in the wreath with a broken tooth pick. It really looks like a wreath and everyone loves it and they can’t believe how easy it is to make when I tell them.

I watched your show for the first time on Nov. 26th. I’m a teacher and I’m not home during the day. I’ll have to set my DVR now. I decided to try to make the pear galette. It was delicious, but the recipe called for 4 tablespoons of butter divided, but only gave directions to use 2 tablespoons. Was the number 4 a typo?
12.08.08 @ 1:57 pm
Nancy N,
That recipe is called
“Orange You Hungry?” Tangerine Dream Chicken with Curry-Carrot Couscous
Just enter it in the ’search recipes in at the top right.
12.09.08 @ 10:39 pm
I’mm trying to find the recipe for a dessert I saw her make.She used 2 pie crust put chocolate and nuts on each crust then put the 2 choc.sides together..i lost from there..does anyone know what it is ???
12.10.08 @ 12:04 am
I made the Spicey Apple Cobbler for Thanksgiving and it was a big hit. So easy and most delicious desert. Will have it again at Christmas. Thank you.

Am dying to make the Chocolate Rugelaugh that was on the 12/8/08 show. It looked so easy but had no amounts for the ingredients. Please help….
12.10.08 @ 11:50 am
Somebody asked about the whole wheat pasta with shallots. I can’t find it either! I think it’s called “weekly spaghetti”. Anybody have it????
12.10.08 @ 10:22 pm
I too want the chocolate rugelach reciepe. One reader suggested the cinnamon rugelach reciepe, but the two are different. The chocolate one is made with 2 pie crusts, butter and chocolate. The cinnamon one you have to make the cookie dough. It might be interesting to try the cream cheese instead of butter in the chocolate one.
Does anyone have the chocolate rugelach reciepe?????
Please Rach give us the reciepe!!!!
12.11.08 @ 1:31 am
O.K.. I made the wreath fudge. How do you get it
out of the pan?? Without cutting it apart.
I used the bundt pan idea. HELP!!
12.11.08 @ 9:44 am
Hi Wendy - Here is the recipe you were looking for. If you even want to find a specific recipe, go to the site, click on “Food” and then use the Search option to find it. Enjoy.
That’s Shallota Flavor Spaghetti
Serves 4
Rachael says, “I make this ALL THE TIME! It is an absolute FAVE! Made with 10 shallots per pound of whole wheat spaghetti, you cannot believe the flavor of this pasta dish. It’s like a bowl of French onion soup, hold the broth. It’s a knockout. Serve with a spinach or arugula salad on the side for a simple supper any night.”

Ingredients
* 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
* 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
* 10 shallots, halved, then thinly sliced
* Salt and black pepper
* 1 pound whole wheat spaghetti
* A generous handful of flat leaf parsley, chopped
* 1 cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
Preparation
Heat the EVOO, four turns of the pan or about 1/4 cup, over medium-low heat in a high-sided skillet. Add garlic and shallots to warm EVOO. Season with salt and pepper, then gently cook to caramelize them, 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, heat a large pot of water to boil for pasta, salt the water very liberally, then add spaghetti to rolling boil. Cook to al dente.
Add three ladles of starchy pasta water, about 1 1/4 cups, to the shallots and stir.
Drain pasta and add to shallots. Add the parsley and cheese and more black pepper, to taste. Toss 1-2 minutes for liquid to absorb and serve. WOW! Talk about yum-o!

Come on. Give us the amounts on that rugelach recipe and oven temperature and how long to bake. It was a GREAT idea but too many things missing. I wrote the show and have gotten no response yet. I would love to make it for the holidays. Does anyone know how to make it. Give us the full recipe, Rach, or at least have your show answer their e-mails. Thanks

On today’s show,(12/11/2008) the winner of the cooking contest made chicken cordon bleu and didn’t wash her hands after rolling the chicken. I loved the recipe and did copy it down.
12.11.08 @ 9:24 pm
I am looking for the cookie recipe Rachel made last week that used two pie crusts put together with Chocolate and nuts, then cut into wedges, rolled and baked. I missed the beginning and can’t find it in the cookie search. It sure looked easy and since I don’t like making Christmas cookies very much, I thought I could make these for the cookie exchange. Please HELP.
12.11.08 @ 11:50 pm
out of all the different salts,which is the healthiest?
12.14.08 @ 7:24 pm
dear racheal, just want to wish you the very best of holidays with your wonderful family. i hope you have a very shot recovery and be well soon. happy holidays pam

HI I am looking for a recipe I saw called Aunt Katie’s Candy cane cookies. I can’t find it anywhere and would LOVE to make them for Christmas.
Thanks
12.15.08 @ 7:04 am
I thought I saw an appetizer a few weeks back that involved lining a bowl with plastic, putting two packages of Boursin cheese, basil leaves, pesto and I think something red for the Christmas look, that you then put in the refrigerator to chill. When ready to serve you invert the bowl onto a plate and the decoration is at the top. I can’t find this listed in the recipes. Was I watching a different show? Thanks for the help

Gabrielle Union’s Candy Cane Cookies
Ingredients
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup confectioner’s sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon red food coloring
1/2 cup crushed peppermint candy
1/2 cup granulated sugar
Yields: 2 1/2 to 3 dozen cookies
Preparation
Preheat oven to 375ºF.
In a mixing bowl with a hand mixer or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the butter, shortening and confectioner’s sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 1 minute. Add the egg and extracts to the bowl, and mix to combine, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl.
Turn the mixer speed down to low and gradually add the flour and salt to the bowl, mixing until incorporated, about 30 seconds. Turn the mixer off, scrape down the bottom and sides and divide the dough in half. Remove one half of the dough from the bowl and add the red food color to the remaining half. Mix or knead it in until the color is blended into the dough evenly.
To shape the cookies, portion out about 1 teaspoon of each color of dough and roll them both into small logs. Pinch the logs together and give them a twist to create the spiraling effect of a candy cane. Place the shaped cookies onto an ungreased baking sheet, curving one end over to look like the hook of a candy cane. Once all the cookies are shaped, bake them until set and very light golden brown, about 9 minutes.
While the cookies are baking, mix together the crushed candy and granulated sugar. As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, sprinkle them with the candy sugar. Let the cookies cool on the tray for a few minutes so that the sugar can stick to them then transfer them to a rack to cool completely.
Hope this is the recipe you were looking for that was on the show a few days ago. Happy Baking!

Question on 5 minute wreath
I made this several years ago and lost the recipe, the one that I downloaded years ago had several variations with different ingredients. I don’t see that with the one that I looked up today. Can anyone help with what they were.

Rachael,
I love all your shows. I even tape your talk show and watch it it the evening. I have been a fan of yours for a long time. My husband was laid off in November so it has been very hard for us. I was so disappointed that I could not come to your book signing in Deptford, NJ. Could you please send us tickets for your show and would it be possible for us to meet you. My birthday is Jan. 23 and it would be a great birthday gift.
Thank you.

I am such a big fan of you and your show! I am 10 years old so I don’t get to
watch your show very often (because of school) But today I did (it is winter
break at my school) I would really love to have your fan mail address or
whatever it is that I can mail you a package (ya you know what I mean)
Okay, So here’s your question, how do you pick tour guest stars? I’ve
always wondered. Please write back.
PS: If this letter was scented it would smell like strawberries and cream (usually I spray body sprits on letters to make it smell great)

Hi Rachael, I am trying to find out where to buy those lift up tapes you had for the breasts that the former beauty queen had on. I think this is just what I’ve been looking for. I have been looking for a bra that will make my breasts look like I’m 30 and I’m now 59. Ha Ha!So could you please email me to tell me where to find these. Thanks! Linda

Rachel, my husband and I are praying for you and you NOT having to have the surgery. We were both laid off in September and don’t miss your show. He says you make him tired you are so upbeat, but he makes sure to watch. We have tried several of your recipes and love them all. We have one question, all our kitchen appliances are cranberry and chrisom red do you think you’ll ever have a line in the red venue? We do have some of you orange and love them. Thank you so much for helping us find a common passion food (cooking, me - eating, his). You have helped make our days brighter during our “down” time. God Bless You. The Glenns’

I’m sure you have found the fudge wreath recipe. I know someone put the name on the blog, but if you were not told how to find it, go to “Food/TV” and then to Rachael Ray and type in fudge and it will come up, along with others of hers.
03.24.09 @ 8:02 pm
Dear Rachael,
Let me begin by telling you I’m not to good on the computer, please bare with me. I really knew you way back when. I cleaned for you when you lived in the big white house by the Lake George club. I saw you one day at Suttons and you didn’t remember me. The next time I saw you was in the Harvest. I want to thank you for remembering little old me. You so graciously helped me with getting tickets for the show. I want to apologize for not writng to you sooner and thanking you. I loved the show and seeing you was great, even if you didn’t know I was there.
I saw you a few weeks ago in the Harvest. You sat at the bar and it was kind of obvious you didn’t want to be seen, so I didn’t speak (I’m sorry) I have been wanting to thank you for the past year for the tickets. So Thank You. I love to watch your show. I’m an awful cook and I wondered if I bought your pans and knives if it would help? I plan on seeing you in Lake George when you come to do your show. Looking forward to seeing you.
