Rachael Ray’s alter ego
Cause I know you can’t get enough of America’s favorite 30-Minute-Meal maker, meet Rachael, er Rachell, the smiling faux chef behind Every Freaking Day with Rachell Ray, a parody book out that’s sure to have Ray Ray boiling in her JCrew booties.
Or maybe not. Ms. Ray, who recently topped the list as the top-earning celebrity chef with her $18 million a year salary, seems like a light-hearted gal most of the time. Maybe she, too, can get a laugh at herself.
I sure did, especially with features “Oh My Buns! Burgers of the Month,” “Swell Swill: Wines under $5.99” and an RR drinking game, in which you take drinks each time she says “totally” or “EVOO” and drain the bottle when she calls the guests on her show “kids.” (The real Rachael’s Web site has a Rachael-isms page to explain her lingo, in case “delish” or “yum-o” isn’t clear.)
Watch out for “floater” recipes — including one whose ingredients consist of flavored gelatin and Chex Mix — and a how-to on getting from the fridge to the counter with every single flippin’ ingredient you need in your grasp.
What would we do without you, RR?
