 | | Ray was in town recently to promote her latest book, Rachael Ray: 30-Minute Meals 2 (Lake Isle Press, $16.95), which--like her show--shows cooks of every skill level how to make delicious meals in about half an hour. |
 | | Ray, who is still based in upstate New York, parlayed a job as a food buyer for a gourmet grocery store into a TV career almost by accident. |
 | | Ray is never without extra-virgin olive oil, canned tomatoes, pasta, boneless, skinless meats (in her freezer), herbs, spices, stocks (beef, chicken and vegetable) and cans of tuna, whole baby clams and flat fillets of anchovies. |
