People know me for my love of food, but I have so much more I want to share. Our show's going to be all about taking a bigger bite out of life. I want people to see themselves in this show because life is full of messes and successes, and getting there is half the fun.

When I do a 30-minute meal, for instance, on Food Network, that's my food you see at the end of the show and it's not perfect. And if sometimes things break or drop or the pasta hits the wall when I'm draining it, they never stop tape. They just kind of let me go with it.

I cook and I chat. That's what I do. I love to write recipes, but basically, if you had to put it in a nutshell, I cook and I chat.

I wish I could be as thin as Jessica Simpson. I think she looks gorgeous! I have had Jessica on my show several times, and I can tell you that girl is genuine and funny with a great self-deprecating sense of humor.
Rachael Ray -
You do it with your own two hands, so there's a sense of pride. You really do forget all our problems, because you're focusing on the food.

We have a queen-size bed and the dog sleeps in the middle. John and I are sort of these little quotation marks on either corner.
Rachael Ray -
Television itself is an intimate medium. It's in your house. You're visiting with these people... Not everybody's going to like it, just like not everybody likes everybody on the playground. I mean, that's life - especially if your job is to just go out there and be yourself.
Rachael Ray -
I've just sort of gone with the flow and I ended up here. Crazy. I'm not going to start planning anything, my life is way better than anybody could have planned it.

E.V.O.O. (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
Rachael Ray -
Yum-O! I say this if something is so good that 'yum' just isn't enough of an exclamation. The accent is on the 'O' as in, 'Oh! That is so good!'
Rachael Ray -
I do know what my first meal in the next world would be... Spaghetti Aglio e Olio, heavy on everything.
Rachael Ray -
It's continuously humbling to work hard, you know? As long as you've got a good work ethic and a sense of humor, I don't think anybody can become too much of an egoist under those circumstances.
Rachael Ray -
I am burger obsessed and I love playing with the idea of what a burger can be for people. I make burgers out of everything from grains to seafood to, of course, browned meats of every kind. What I love about the burger is it makes food accessible and fun for everyone.
Rachael Ray -
I make a dog-friendly version of almost everything that we make for dinner.

I've also learned that you can't be all things to all people. Whatever it is that you're successful at, that has to be the No. 1 goal.
Rachael Ray -
Food was always a conduit in our family for storytelling, and it was a way for us to keep in touch and remember things. We're people that use food to keep each other together and to always cheer us up and make all of our days better.
Rachael Ray -
Be real. Make connections with people. Look them in the eye. Tell them how you feel. Don't be afraid to say what you mean. When you let go of the stuff you hold inside, you'll be amazed at what comes back to you.
Rachael Ray -
Yum-o!

If you're preparing a dinner for friends or a holiday dinner, make sure to only prepare recipes you are comfortable with and have cooked before. Cooking for others is not the time to try out a recipe for the first time. You end up spending all your time in the kitchen instead of enjoying your company.

I measure in my palm and use my eyes to estimate amounts; a tablespoon is a full palm of dried spices.

Potato overboard!
Rachael Ray -
I never do the dishes, because my husband has an affinity for it. And I'm also not allowed to touch the coffeemaker.
Rachael Ray -
That's a horrible thought. I guess cheese or wine. I think I might be too depressed to eat if I had to eat only one thing for the rest of my life.
Rachael Ray -
I really believe there's no such thing as accidents, only opportunities. God gives everyone the ingredients to a good, happy life. It's up to us to make the most of them.
