Rachel Ray is not a chef, I don't believe Giada is either. They host TV shows and write cookbooks, but have never worked as professional chefs.

Rachel worked in the kitchen for 10 years before her first cookbook came out. I don't know about Giada but I would imagine she did as well. I can't think of any food network personality that hasn't worked as a chef.

Rachel Ray's experience amounts to working as a girl behind a soda counter, mass cooking food for a gourmet foods supermarket, and catering. She was never the head chef of a kitchen and has never worked in an actual professional restaruant setting. That is just not impressive to me.

I don't know her life story, just read in her cookbook she has been workin in a kitchen for a long time. Sorry to offend you.
