Heh heh. The buzzards are circling overhead. That this is the last season of her long-running show, her high-profile on daily TV, stratospheric perch from which she looked down upon her empire, subjects, soon to end, the ratings for the Oprah Winfrey Network doing well below expectations, it seems she is now fair game.

It seems that Oprah always wanted to provide answers for people. Sadly, she never gave them the right one. Oprah, if you hear the voice of the Lord today, harden not your heart.

I find the knock in the article against Rachel Ray because she doesn't have any formal culinary training to be a real cheap shot. I don't have any formal training either but I am a damn good cook.
Judge a cook by the quality and taste of the meals they produce and not by the 'training' they may or may not have received.

Oprah is irrelevant period.

I agree, she never claimed to be anything but a 30 minute meal cook.
A cute and good one at that.

I agree with you on that. Rachel Ray has never promoted herself as having formal training. In fact she has always made it clear she doesn’t. Formal training does not a good cook make.

The number of recent scandals that have emerged and we're talking about scandals that go beyond Dr. Phil not being a "real doctor," or Rachael Ray not having any formal culinary training I did not know that "Doctor Phil" did not have a doctorate but as far as Rachael Ray not having "any formal culinary training", has she ever claimed it?

Dr. Melvin Levinewho appeared on Oprah repeatedly over the course of several years as a childhood education expertcommitted suicide on Friday, the same day that 40 of his former patients filed a medical malpractice and sexual abuse suit against him I believe that Oprah is culpable, and should be added to the lawsuit.

I find it curious they included Rachel Ray in this article.
I’ve read several articles about Rachel Ray and she, from the beginning, would state she had no formal training.

She may be a lib, but I did like that picture of her licking the chocolate syrup off of the wooden spoons while wearing an apron...:)

What Rachel Ray shows is more practical home cooking, emphasizing practical and simple. Much of it likely learned and further developed by experience. It’s a subject I doubt is taught in culinary school.

True, trying to help folks understand that cooking a great meal isn’t as hard as they may think.

Does RR still scurry about the kitchen gathering the necessary items? I got so tired of that act that I haven’t watched her show in a long time.

Why is Rachel Ray on this list? What does she owe to Oprah? I've watched "30 minute meals" for years and RR never claims to be a trained chef and I don't remember any reference to the One's Prophetess. AAMOF, RR frequently describes herself as a "home cook" but I think her 30-min formula is a remarkable achievement in "unedited" demonstrations of practical, tasty and nutritious cooking (although hugh in calories).
Martha Stewart was a stockbroker who just took up catering one day.
Now, I've never watched her talk shows because I hate that format, particularly directed at women. Yuck. I hate Hollywood celebs and hate it when they open their stupid pieholes.
Just wondering why this is a slam at a good performer, RR, who doesn't try to tell me how to vote.
