Info

30 Minute Meals is a Food Network show hosted by Rachael Ray. Her first of four shows on Food Network debuted in the fall of 2001. The show specializes in convenience cooking for those with little time to cook. The show is recorded live-to-tape, with Ray doing almost all preparation in real time. The show was awarded an Emmy for Best Daytime Service Show in 2006. A common feature on the program is the creation of new versions of classic dishes, some of which are traditionally slow to cook. Ray focuses on creating meals in less than 30 minutes. Ray has also done two specials with the title Thanksgiving in 60, based around the idea of a one-hour Thanksgiving dinner. Each episode Ray opens the show by saying "Hi there, I'm Rachael Ray and I make 30-minute meals. Now that means in the time it takes you to watch this program, I will have made a delicious and healthy meal from start to finish."

30 Minute Meals Audience Reviews

Console best movie i've ever seen.
Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
tammytkspr It was a hot summer Sunday, flipping through the channels, when I came across 30 Minute Meals with Rachael Ray. Never heard of it, nor have I ever watched the Food Network prior to this stumbling on. And I was in for a treat. I enjoyed the dishes she cooked up, and her inviting personality made it almost like she was right there in my kitchen chatting up a storm with me. It's like you are getting an educational cooking show, entertaining talk show, and the feeling of spending some time with your best friend all in one. I highly recommend this show for someone who likes to cook on a minutes notice, and likes light hearted, spunky personalities that has the potential to lift your spirits!
ArcticShadow Rachael Ray makes some decent meals for the amount of money spent. However, she is a very annoying. Her vocabulary is loaded with unusual abbreviations and her own slang. She uses words like "fryolator" , "EVOO" , "sjhuzzjh" , "yum-O" , "delish", and whatever else she can make up. And she uses these strange words much too often. Rachael's choice of clothing could be a lot better also. A positive point for Rachael is that she can make some good meals quickly.This show would be good for those who don't want to spend a lot of time or money cooking, and who can tolerate her quirky behavior.
TimothyP I have no doubt that Rachael Ray is a fine cook, but she's just too damned perky. I can't stand watching that ever cheery mug grinning like a maniac at the camera. If I flip the channel and unexpectedly see her face, I'm put off my feed for a week, which is exactly the opposite of what the food network is supposed to do, isn't it? I honestly don't see her appeal. Not to mention the fact that I don't have anyone to keep my fridge stocked with just the perfect ingredients and fresh herbs that she seems to chop and use constantly.Again, I'm sure she's a wonderful cook, and might be just fine in private, but her public persona annoys the expletive deleted out of me.
ghosti I love Rachael Ray, the host of "30 Minute Meals". If Emeril is the John Wayne of the Food Network, then Rachael Ray is June Allyson: pretty, vivacious, and funny. She once apologized to a head of cauliflower because it was a neglected vegetable. The concept of "30 Minute Meals" is simple. In this age of take out food and microwave dinners, it is still possible to prepare healthy and delicious meals in 30 minutes or less with ingredients that are commonly available. Rachael cooks her meals in real time. And that's where the fun comes in. First, you have to understand Rachael almost never measures her ingredients. In fact, one of her recipes calls for a couple of glugs of wine. Second, every trip to the pantry is an adventure. She tries to carry everything in one trip, so the short journey from pantry to workstation becomes a combination weight lifting contest and circus balancing act. But the best part is the food itself. The recipes are really good and the themes are imaginative - from making your own "take out" at home to taking culinary vacations to foreign countries. Rachael is obviously having fun on her show (she says it allows her to play with her food) and the viewer will enjoy it, too. Simply put, "30 Minute Meals" is educational and fun.
