Rachel Ray Vs. Martha Stewart -- hmmm?

So, not only did Martha Stewart throw down the gauntlet, she pretty much put Rachel on call. During an interview with Howard Stern, Martha Stewart said she could out-cook & out-craft Rachael. I don't know about you, but I think Rachel would win, especially when you consider her brand of Rachel ray knives. But let's not jump to conclusions, Martha did go to jail and does know how to make a shank out of rubber bands, tinfoil and a pine cone. You be the judge...

10 or 6 knives?

Check out these Rachel Ray knives. How many kitchen knives are enough? Some would argue that 6 knifes are plenty, then others would say you need a 10 piece knife set to be a legit chef. Any thoughts?

Deep Thoughts...Holidays

I have been doing some research on what to get for the holidays, and every year, its the same thing. Rachel Ray knife this, Rachel Ray knife set that. How many times can I give the 3pc Rachel Ray Knife Set? Luckily, last year Rachael came out with the SOS Charity Knife Set, which they loved.

I think that this year, I'm going to mix it up a little. I am going to get the younger kids in my family a Rachaael Ray Young Cook Set Rachel Ray Froggy. And then for the people I really like, I saw that Rachel Ray is coming out with a Steak Knife Set this holiday season.

I'm so excited. Thanks to Rachael for coming out with the new knife sets, I was getting nervous about what to buy.

"So You Think You Can Cook?!" Hometown Hero

Here's a great story about the texan hometown hero Ben Starr competing against other chefs on Rachael Ray's cooking show "So You Think You Can Cook?!". One question that comes to mind is how does this show differ from that other televised culinary face-off, Top Chef? Well, on Rachael Ray's show the contestants are required to be amateurs, as was Ms. Ray when she got her break. Hmmm, I wonder if they will be using Rachel Ray Knives? What do you think?
