Rachel Ray is great and i have some of her books, but every meal of hers i have made has taken me like 3x's as long to cook than she says so while her recipes are easy to follow and taste great give yourself more time.
YOU ARE SO RIGHT.. that little lady whips through chopping veggies so fast, Id lose a finger if I mimiced it!!!!!
I do notice that some of her stuff starts to taste the same too... but she is GREAT for learning things... one of my fave tips.. putting a lime in the microwave for 10 secs to get more juice out. I need that for mojitos!!!
I did not know that tip about the lime,t hat is great, I love Mojitos

Re: Who can??
While I'm not the best cook, I have an idea on some things and I can really agree w/ using Rachel Ray's cookbook. But FH is a steak and rice kind a guy. He spices his steak w/ everything in the cabinet and boils some water. Not sure if I should even try new recipes......LOL

Re: Who can??
I have a collection of cook books that I have yet to use. My FH keeps complaining that I never cook for him (well maybe 3 times in 8 years)....I'm not even sure I know how to cook but I keep telling myself that I do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And the one thing I am most dreading about being a wife is deciding what to make for dinner every time. phew, felt good to get that off my chest!!!!

Re: Who can??
I am getting better.. I got chicken down to a science now.. and I am pretty decent with steak.. and I just started shrimp.. You would think I would be good at cooking since I am Italian.. but I am not a mastermind in the kitchen like my mom and my sister..

Its easier than youd think. I highly recommend starting with the Rachel Ray books, she is brilliant and her stuff is so easy!
I second this, beside the fact that my mother is the best cook ever and I have learned from her, I definitly think Rachel Rays book are something to go with.

I think I'm a very good cook and baker, but FH is a very picky eater and I predict I will end up hitting him over the head with the frying pan.

Re: Who can??
Definitely go with the food network- Rachel Ray is awesome! The channel number depends on the cable provider you use- you should be able to find it on the guide.
I can cook (I'm Italian, so I better!), and FH agrees but he says I always make a mess when I cook. I just think he doesn't like clean up duty!!

Re: Who can??
I can't stand following recipes. I always get distracted and miss crucial steps and everything in the kitchen winds up in the sink My FIL's suggested sending me for cooking lessons

I know with Cabelvision it is 66.
I love cooking and I agree with the other girls about the Food Network. Rachael Ray is great, but I also love Giada. It just takes time to learn, but don't worry, I'm sure you will be great!! When I first started off I burnt toast!! Now I can cook big meals! It is so much fun! I am still learning some things and of course, as Penny said, the complicated Greek meals I need to learn, but I am great with fish and steaks! I am still working on chicken, but you get the hang of it after a while. Oh and I think I have sauce down pat. Fh being Italian that was the first thing I had to master! LOL

Re: Who can??
whats funny is that I CAN cook but FH still does all the cooking. i admit i have not so much cooking experience but i def do know how to do the basics. he just gets home earlier and likes home cooked food more than i do i tried to cook breakfast the other day but he insisted. i would think that maybe he just doesnt like my cooking..but i havent even cooked enough for him to know either way!!
