The Food Network is an American channel that "airs" (broadcasts; shows on television) shows about food and cooking. One of its most popular hosts is a chef named Rachael Ray, who "hosts" (leads) three programs for the Food Network: 30 Minute Meals, Rachael Ray's Tasty Travels, and $40 a Day.

In 30 Minute Meals, Rachael Ray shows people how they can cook a delicious meal in just 30 minutes. It is "aimed at" (intended for) people with busy schedules who do not want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen, but want to eat "yummy" (good-tasting) home-cooked meals. "Critics" (people who dislike her show) say that it is impossible to actually prepare the meals in 30 minutes, because her show doesn't include "prep time" (the time needed to prepare foods), but her show is nevertheless very popular.

Rachael Ray's Tasty Travels follows Rachael Ray as she travels around the world. The show "features" (highlights; focuses on) what she eats while she is traveling. In $40 a Day, Rachael Ray takes one-day trips to different cities, where she has only $40 to pay for three meals and a "snack" (food eaten between meals) or an after-dinner drink.

In 2006, Rachael Ray "launched" (began producing) her own magazine called Every Day with Rachael Ray, which contains many recipes and menu ideas. She is also a "spokesperson" (a person who promotes a product or company) for Nabisco crackers, and her photographs are on the boxes for many of the company's products.

Rachael Ray is "credited with" (given credit for) "coining" (creating) several phrases, including "EVOO" (extra-virgin olive oil) and "stoup" (a combination of a stew and a soup).
