About Rachael Ray
Growing up in a family steeped in culinary tradition, Rachael was exposed to a wide array of cooking techniques, learning lessons from her maternal grandfather, who was raised in the traditions of Louisiana. The Ray family owned several restaurants on Cape Cod, Mass., before relocating to upstate New York, where her mother worked as the food supervisor for a restaurant chain. "I was surrounded by all different styles of cooking and worked in the food service industry in just about every capacity you can imagine," Rachael says.
By her early 20s, Rachael developed a hankering for city life and moved to New
York. Despite an exciting lifestyle in the foodie circles of New York City, Rachael decided to move back to upstate New York and started managing pubs and restaurants before becoming a gourmet market "chef."
Rachael's hugely-successful syndicated daytime program, "Rachael Ray", launched in the fall of 2006. Showcasing Rachael's warmth, energy and boundless curiosity, the show invites viewers to experience life the Rachael Ray way. Credited with getting America back in the kitchen with her easy approach to cooking, Rachael takes the same philosophy -- finding simple solutions to everyday problems -- beyond the kitchen and into all aspects of the show.
In the spring of 2007, Rachael Ray launched a nonprofit organization, Yum-o! that empowers kids and their families to develop healthy relationships with food and cooking.
