There is SO much in each issue of Everyday with Rachael Ray! This is really the best food magazine (and so much much more!) in a long time. It's just a shame it isn't every single month :)
Love this magazine August 29, 2006

This magazine is fun and upbeat. The pictures are bright and colorful but more importantly they add to the text. If the text is about cooking a steak for example the pictures will be clear and easy to understand and will fully document what the text is saying. There are many many recipes. One section actually has a pull out shopping list and menus for a week. A great magazine. Well worth the money.
 Insanely good! October 22, 2006

Before I begin, there's one thing you need to know: I can't cook.
I have skills that can't be beaten when it comes to heating stuff in the microwave, and I can use the toaster oven to, uh, toast things, but that's it. No whipping up any fancy 30-minute meals for me, which probably makes me the only person who can't cook who actually buys this magazine.
This should say a great deal about just how entertaining EVERY DAY WITH RACHAEL RAY actually is.
Of course, as you might expect, I like Rachael Ray. It REALLY would be weird for someone to buy this magazine if they didn't cook and they also hated Rachael, and I'm not THAT weird! However, although this is ostensibly a cooking-centric magazine, I'd argue that it really reflects Rachael's ATTITUDE and personality. Her enthusiasm, love of a wide variety of food, and adventurous spirit shine through on every page. By all reports, Rachael was very hands-on in developing this magazine, and it shows.
To those who ask why they need to read a Rachael Ray magazine, since Rachael is all over television these days (most recently with her own syndicated daytime talk show), chew on this: Rachael isn't taking over the world by accident. She's obviously doing something right to be dominating both the Food Network's daily schedule and the bestseller lists (for her ever-increasing line of cookbooks). People just can't get their fill of her! So, what exactly is her secret? I think it boils down to these factors: a combination of approachability and charisma, which are key ingredients of superstardom (think of talented-yet-friendly stars such as Tom Hanks or Shakira). Add to that a dash of optimism mixed with a spirit of adventure, as witnessed on my favorite Ray show, "$40 a Day," in which she explores a new tourist destination each week, trying to eat well on an insanely low budget.
But what about Rachael Ray in magazine form, you're wondering? Well, in my opinion, EVERY DAY WITH RACHAEL RAY appeals to all tastes by brilliantly translating her unique appeal from the tv screen to the printed page. As I mentioned earlier, I probably won't be cooking anything from the many recipes included in each issue, but I still like checking them out. Each recipe includes a picture of the finished product, and the recipes have lots of variety and creativity... Yum-o! And some are so simple, like sandwiches or salads, that I get the feeling I might actually be able to attempt them if I really wanted to (See? Rachael's "can-do" attitude even gets through to the kitchen-incompetent!)
The travel articles and the short pieces (about a wide range of topics such as buying cheese, making mistakes in the kitchen, etc.) are also fun. But, as a Rachael fan, I especially enjoy the parts of the magazine written by, or about, Rachael. One nice feature is a Q & A in which readers can send in questions about Rachael which she personally answers. As someone who has participated in a lot of "celebrity Q & A's" online in the past, I love these chances to get to know more about someone famous who you may never meet in person. In fact, the only reason I haven't rated EVERY DAY WITH RACHAEL RAY "five stars" is because I'd like to see even more Rachael-related photos and articles in each issue... how cool would that be?! Also, I'm hungry for more interactivity: perhaps some food-themed Sudoku, or some search-a-words. But to be fair, this is a relatively new magazine, and all great magazines need time to sort out what does and doesn't work. And so far, EVERY DAY WITH RACHAEL RAY has hit the ground running and is off to a great start.
I was actually the first person to buy the very first issue at my local bookstore when it came out (I got lucky and happened to be there as they set up the display), and I've looked forward to each new issue ever since that day. If you like Rachael Ray, you can't go wrong here... start spending every day with Rachael Ray and "take a bite outta life." Even if you can't boil water!
Love the Magazine, Love Rachael, It's the subscription offers that the problem November 26, 2006

As the title states, I love the magazine, and I love Rachael Ray - she's just great!
My problem is with the publishers and all the confusing information.
1. One year equals 12 months!
Wrong! One year is, ah ? 10 months!
When the magazine first came out, the offer was 1 FREE issue (11 issues total) for the rate of $18.00 - (The quoted Cover Price - $39.90 for 10 issues - what a DEAL!)
I received my "Summary of Account", and that Summary statement shows the cover price of $43.89 - WOW, my savings just went from 55% to 58%!
Today, I received my December/January 2007 Issue, and another renewal offer. They're offering me a great deal to renew about 10 months early! For 2 years (not 24 months of issues) for 20 issues, I get to pay them $29.98. Another 24 months puts me into 2009, or there abouts - My current subscription ends in October 2007.
Also today, in the mail, I received a separate offer (different return box number). I can give a "one year (10 issues)" gift subscription at an "adjusted rate" for $18.00.
Okay, so, should I give myself a gift for additional 10 issues at $18.00, or sign up for 20 issues for $29.98?? - I'm confused. The $29.98 deal sounds pretty good.
NOT! - Neither Offer. The idea that I'm going to renew and pay, (in other words, let them be my bank) my subscription about 1 year in advance is not gonna happen. I quit Reader's Digest, and maybe I'll be quitting Consumer's Report because they were/are always telling me I need to renew when I don't.
At least these offers aren't telling me my subscription is about to expire, - yet.
Guess this sort of marketing works or else they wouldn't do it. I just wish we'd be given their best offer and be done with it - crazy marketing. Just makes me wonder - really - how low can they go to get me back after I quit renewing because of all their antics.
Oh, LOVE THE MAGAZINE!

Excellent selection of recipes anyone can prepare, in just 30 minutes. No need to be out of ideas for any party or get together, just open the book to any page, and you're set and ready to go, or should I say Cook!!
