    I am looking foward to it!! I wouldn’t miss it! Good Luck to John and Rachael on ‘Viva Daisy’ !! May there be many more hit shows for them!
    Happy New Year!

    I second that Rose P… And of Course I will watching!!! My DVR is all set — I will watch any show Rachael and John will produce now and in the future- Although I love seeing Rachael in front of the camera - I think for Rachael and her voice issues being behind the camera will be a smart thing. It is time for Rachael to start taking care of herself — she earned that. So Go Rach and produce brilliance!!

    So where is the PROMO for Viva Daisy?– I watch the FN all the time and have not seen one promo for it nor do I see anything on the FN website- Every new show needs publicity to get it off the ground— C’mon FN - Let’s make Daisy a big HIT- you have the brilliance of Rachael Ray behind it - and quite frankly your network can use some good new programs…
    Good Luck Rachael and John with Daisy - and from promo the heck out of it!

    Hey there! I am so glad to see that Daisy Martinez has not gone out of style….I just loved her old show which I watch on CreateTV but know that she needs to keep going with new ideas. She is like the Rachael Ray of the Latin world. I just love her. You go girl! and good luck.

    Thank you Rachel for bringing Daisy to the Food Network I wondered why they did’nt have her on their network before. Nothing against the other latin cook they had on but I always enjoyed Daisy’s way of explaining how to make real traditional spanish family meals in a way that makes it exciting to the viewer.For some reason the networks seem to think all latin women have to look and act like Charo, who I respect but Charo does not represent all latin women. I always watched Daisy on PBS and am looking forward to her new show and using her recipes. My mother was Polish and my father was Puerto Rican (and the cook in the family)he would just throw together rice pork chicken beans and spice in one pot and make it taste like the best food you ever had.I love your meals but have always searched for authentic latin rice based one pot recipes. Thanks again Rachel and make sure they promote her show ,she and the public deserves it.

    OMG I saw her one time on the food network and bought her cookbook. I love it my husband and I love all the reciepes. I’m Puerto Rican and everytime I make something out of her book it brings me back to the Bronx when my mom cooked all these wonderful spanish meals. Can’t wait to see her

    Hey LML -

    I was wondering how were the ratings for Viva Daisy? Did they get some good numbers? I hope so - I did my part in telling everyone to watch the show- I hope it did great for Racn and John… I personally liked it a lot! Post the ratings if you can… fingers crossed for success for Rach!
