Growing up in a family steeped in culinary tradition, Rachael Ray
was exposed to a wide range of cooking techniques, from her maternal grandfather
who grew and cooked everything his family of 12 ate, to her dad’s family,
which embraced the food-rich traditions of Louisiana. The Ray family owned several
restaurants on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, 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,” Ray says.
Despite the exciting lifestyle in the foodie circles of New York
City, Ray decided that wasn’t how she wanted to live long term so she moved
back to upstate New York and started managing pubs and restaurants at the famed
Sagamore Resort on Lake George. From there, she was recruited by Cowan &
Lobel, a large gourmet market in Albany, to be their food buyer and eventually
their chef.
Taking the can-do spirit of her television shows and books, Ray
launched a lifestyle magazine in 2005 bearing her vision called Every Day With
Rachael Ray. With great food at its heart, the full-size glossy magazine, for
which Ray serves as editor-in-chief, covers much more than food. The magazine
offers smart and easy recipes for an array of delicious foods, as well as practical
advice on food destinations and entertaining. Through the magazine, Ray takes
readers around the country to meet people who love food – from top celebrities
to authentic artisans to great home cooks.
“My life has been a total accident – a very happy, wonderful
accident that I didn't and couldn't have planned,” says Ray. Despite her
growing celebrity she is determined to stay grounded and hold on to her down-to-earth
values. She still spends as much time as she can at her cabin in the Adirondacks
with her husband, John, her family – the “research team” –
and her beloved pit bull IsaBoo.
After years of using traditional knives, and traditional sharpening
methods, Rachael Ray, the host of the Food Network's 30-Minute Meals, $40 a
Day, and Inside Dish, now endorses Füri products in the USA. The new Füri®
RR knives are from Füritechnics, the Australian engineers and chefs behind
the internationally acclaimed Füri range of professional knives and ‘innovations
for cooks’.
"The
Füri RR East/West knife has all of the features of the classic Santoku
blade that I love . . . and much more! I love the sharpness and scalloped edge
of a Santoku blade. However, a traditional Santoku knife has a very straight
edge, which makes it difficult to use in a rocking and sliding motion, as with
most traditional chef’s knives. The Füri RR Coppertail features both
a sharp, scalloped Santoku blade . . . and a rounded edge." --Rachael Ray
