Rachael Ray was born in 1968, in Glens Falls, New York. It was in New York where Ray had her first job as a candy counter in a department store called “Macy’s”. Prior to her big breakthrough, Rachael Ray also worked in “Mister Brown’s Pub” as a manager, and “Cowan & Lobel” store. Rachael Ray began showcasing her culinary skills in 2001 in a food network show “30 Minute Meals”, where she created healthy and delicious dishes in under 30 minutes.

A year later, Rachael Ray came out with another television series called “Rachael Ray’s Tasty Travels”, where she travels around the world and tries foods from different places.
