Are Racheal Ray's Cookbooks Worth Buying?
I have a subscription to her magazine. I love the recipes!
I am just curious to whether or not her cookbooks are worth it, or are they going to have pretty much the same recipes?

Haha, Chefgrille. I honestly hate her, too. =)

Haha, Chefgrille. I honestly hate her, too. =) I have some of her cookbooks, and I definitely make (and re-make) a lot of the dishes in there. BUT, most of them cannot be made in 30 minutes, and she has some very unusual ingredients, some I can't even find at specialty stores. I would recommend looking through them at the bookstore and making sure that you will use the recipes in the books before buying them.
An easy way to save money: Buy her books on www.half.com. It is a website associated with eBay, where you can buy new and used books really REALLY cheap. This is where I buy most of my cookbooks for almost half the price as I would pay at a regular bookstore. I usually do research by going to the bookstore and looking through the books first... Just a thought. =) Hell yes i think i make something out of her book everynight. I have a couple of hers, and I subscribe to the magazine too. (Even though I hate her. :) But I don't see a lot of overlap, just a lot of chicken recipes. HI BabeDoll,
YES!!! YUMMY- YUMMO!!! YEAH! I love rachel ray, i mean, i didn't like one veggie, i seen her cook something with it, and now i loveeeeeeeee it! you know, as aggravating as she's BECOME (i liked her when you didn't have to look at her face on every channel, every grocery aisle), the cookbooks are good.
i have one for recipes around the clock, and my friend had a good one that gave different recipes depending on how much time/energy you had to give a dish...i wouldn't buy the whole collection, though- the nice thing about her recipes is that they give me a good base to work from. like, if i wondered how to make a certain soup, etc, i could look up the recipe, and then modify it for the future for my tastes. i'm becoming a more experimental cook, though.
i would check them out and buy one. also shop around for deals- they're EVERYWHERE now, so don't necessarily buy the first one you see- i think that nabisco (whoever makes triscuits) is doing a mail-in offer, like you buy x amount of nabisco products, mail in the upcs and get her cookbook? look into it!
