DAY WITH RACHELL RAY, a hilarious parody of Rachel Ray's magazine, is here to give you all of that and more.

In the interest of full disclosure, I have to tell you how much I love, love, love Rachael Ray. I watch all of her shows on The Food Network whenever I can and I have several of her cookbooks; I'm even a subscriber to her magazine (OMG, I would just die to meet her in person!!). But I still thought this book, even though it is a complete parody of Rachael Ray, is a scream! I laughed and cried all the way through it. Then I read it again. It's the same kind of humor as Saturday Night Live's parodies of Sarah Palin, Joe Biden, Senators Obama and McCain. So if you like those, you'll love this book. I highly recommend this book for anyone needing a laugh.

5 out of 5 binkies.

From the website:

"Hey kids! If 30-minute meals are good, wouldn't 30-second meals be even better? You bet they would! And EVERY FREAKING! DAY WITH RACHELL RAY makes this dream a reality! This 64-page, full-color parody of the super-caffeinated media phenomenon Rachael Ray doesn't merely mimic the tone of the megastar's monthly magazine, daily talk show, multiple Food Network shows and countless ad campaigns, it nails it! Bestselling author Elizabeth Hilts captures Rachael's perky exuberance, her "casual" approach to cooking and her irrepressible and wholly unique Rayisms. Capturing the super-caffeinated essence of a certain media phenom, this 64-page full-color parody is jam-packed with laugh out loud takes on the things that make her (in)famous, like: --What the Hell’s This? Secret ingredients that really make guests wonder --If These Hands Could Talk—A guide to Rachell’s personal sign language --We are Fam-i-ly! The Ray family reunion --Dining On The Downlow—Rachell’s hints for stretching your dining out dollars --Plus thousands of mind-boggling recipes and so much more! Every Freaking! Day with Rachell Ray is a must-have for anyone who’s mystified by the ubiquitous spectacle—and alarming success—of the maker of 30 Minute Meals! "
