Thanks to everyone for all their kind words. I’m fine!!!! And happy to have an excuse to be quiet for a few days. My doctors feel I’ll be okay to chat it up again by week’s end. I feel guilty for all the lovely flowers and notes I have been getting - I was back in the kitchen cooking three hours after the procedure. Thanks again!

A word from Rachael’s doctor:
“On July 7th, Rachael Ray had a ambulatory procedure to remove a small benign cyst from her vocal cord,” said Dr. Gwen S. Korovin who performed the procedure. “The non-invasive procedure took less than an hour and required absolutely no stitches. The recovery process requires a short period of complete vocal rest. The successful procedure will now prevent Rachael from experiencing the vocal issues she has had in the past.”

I underwent a similar proceedure for Lucoplatia(sp?)
several months ago. I thought not speaking for two weeks would be rough. But with the help of my computer and my secratery it was no so bad. Going to get my daily coffey at dunkin donuts with prewritten notes was funny. I even pre recorded me calling my dogs in case I needed it.
I read that Beta Keratine is good for this condition and since I began taking it my voice has become much better. Good Luck ! Jack
07.13.09 @ 12:53 pm
I was sorry to hear about your surgery. My son and I have been very big fans of your show(s) since you started on the food network. hope all goes well with your recovery, best of luck!

Try Beta Keratine!!!! It worked for me.

I have had that same procedure twice! Please do not rush the talking, or it may not heal right. The hardest part is NOT to talk, speak or make any noises. I had 2 teens at home so that was a task for me! Take Care and get plenty of rest with it too. Although, you may feel great your body still needs the rest to heal.
Speedy Recovery!

Tell Rachael to stop cooking long enough to get some rest. The more rest she gets now, the less she’ll have to get later. Any procedure involves the whole body healing, not just the surgical site. We are praying for your continued health and successful healing.
07.13.09 @ 1:14 pm
I’m thrilled you’re okay, but we will all miss your raspy voice! Hope it’s still A BIT raspy!
Can’t wait to HEAR from you!
07.13.09 @ 1:16 pm
Feel better soon we miss your smiley face:)
07.13.09 @ 1:20 pm
YAY Rach! I’m so happy that everything went great. Enjoy your summer and the quiet!!! :o)
07.13.09 @ 1:33 pm
Gone the sexy, hoarse voice - but bringing a new, ever talkative Rach. Heal quickly.
07.13.09 @ 1:36 pm
Hope all goes well, and Rachel rests. She may or may not read this email, but since being layed off of work, I have enjoyed her show and have used recipes she has used on her shows.
07.13.09 @ 1:37 pm
Hey Rachel,
Praising the Lord that your surgery went well and recovery was so quick for you.
Thank you for all you do for us. You specifically have inspired my 14 year old SON to become a chef. When we first started watching Food Network about 7 years ago, I would just have the TV on for “noise” and our son, TJ, then 7 years old, would sit and watch/listen to your shows. It was too cute.
Praying for continued success for you personally, and in your career.
Thanks again,

Dear Rachael,
I’m glad to hear you are doing well after the procedure to remove the cyst from your vocal cord. I’m a huge fan and would hate not being able to “visit” with you every now and again on TV. I hope you don’t feel this is out of place, but my husband is a leading voice care specialist in Canada and one of only three in North America who specializes in laryngeal (voice box) musculoskeletal tension. Aaron’s patients have included: Sting, Mick Jagger, Sharon Stone and Lionel Richey to name a few. Not because he’s my husband, but Aaron’s love for what he does has allowed him to truly help many. If this is of any interest to you, feel free to contact Aaron at: ajlow@cogeco.ca. All the best, always, Daniela

Rachael -
Thank you for letting us know how you are feeling! Your fans have been keeping you close in their hearts. It is a great thing you had the surgery and thank you to Dr Gwen for keeping you well.
Stay Rested and get well. We all await to hear your chatty voice and see your smiling face again soon.
Many ((( HUGS )))

07.13.09 @ 2:53 pm
Always thought her voice was sexy….opps should i have said that ?
07.13.09 @ 2:57 pm
I had a growth on my vocal cord some years ago and the doctor burned it off. (30 years ago) After the procedure, my voice was only a whispher for several months but I continued to try and talk and slowly my voice came back. You will be fine but be patient. God Bless You.
07.13.09 @ 3:02 pm
Hi, Rach!
We’re glad you are doing well, get plenty of rest! It will be nice to hear your regular voice again without all the strain.
Take care,
Debi & Bob

Rachael, Don’t always get to watch your talk show-but your cooking shows have always been a hit at my house-my daughter and I went to a book signing 3 years ago in Berkeley & she has the greatest desire to be in the kitchen beacuse of you and your encouraging words to her. She is 15 now and we’ll always remember that experience seeing you. From our family to yours…a speedy recovery!

i’m glad you are feeling better. you inspire me to experiment in the kitchen. and with me being ‘physically challenged’ it takes me 2-3 times longer to fix my meals. i dont mind though, i still enjoy the process and my food, usualy, tastes good. thanks rach

I’m so glad that your surgery went well!! I’ve enjoyed watching your show for a long time now, even since I moved to Iceland, I still get to watch you and I have been watching you every morning this summer while I eat breakfast!! Unfortunately the shows we get here in Iceland are a little behind the US, but I’m glad that I still get to see you on TV every morning and I’m always going to your website to print off recipes. Thanks for being so sweet and beautiful and talented!! I hope you feel 100% soon!

Hi Rachael,
I was wondering if you had your surgery as of yet, I opened your web page to find that you had. Happy to hear everything went well. I’ve read other messages and beleive me take everyone’s advise (REST,REST AND MORE REST). I’ve been watching all your shows from the beginning, really enjoy when you do shows with John. Take good care.
Love ya
Cathy A.
07.14.09 @ 11:01 am
So how exited are you to hear how your voice will turn out when it is totally rested and healed!!! Any you feel guilty…?? Really? You give SO much and deserve every stem and note and prayer!!
Love you Doll!
07.14.09 @ 11:04 am
Dear Rachael,
Shh don’t say anything…
So glad that your procedure went well. You will be back to your talkative self in no time.
Be Good and take care,
07.14.09 @ 12:05 pm
Rach,
I am glad all went well. Please take advantage of time off and get some rest! Ask any guy who had a vasectomy and worked the next day because they felt good:(
I enjoy your show and love your positive outlook, it really makes my day as I wait for my liver transplant.
Best,

Hey Rach, sorry to hear about the throat. but gald to hear it was nothin to serious. I just love your attitude. You make being in the kitchen fun. I’m 47 and love to cook my family always tells me I should open my own restaurant and I say no thank you to much work I like to have fun and make up my own food. You are so much fun to watch even my granddaughter will watch the cooking shows with me she’s 7. Well take care and have a great summer.

07.14.09 @ 2:44 pm
Get well soon Rachael! I love watching your show. Make sure you get all the rest you need! I know you like to talk but just save it untill you heal. LOL
07.14.09 @ 2:54 pm
I read about your surgery online the other day. I’ve known others to have the same surgery, so I wasn’t too worried about your health, you’re a strong woman I knew you’d recover quickly!
I’ve been a huge fan of you and your shows since catching you on food network years ago. I was more shocked to read in the article that you would be turning 41 this month? Seriously?? You don’t look to be anywhere near 41!!
Best of luck with the recovery! You are an inspiration to so many!!
07.14.09 @ 3:34 pm
Hey Rachel: I am very sorry to hear that you have been sick. I am grateful to God that all is fine and my prayers are with you. My God is an awesome God!!!
07.14.09 @ 3:43 pm
Often around Christmas time, I can get a croupy cold that ends up in laryngitis. I joke that is God’s gift to my husband. I can be very chatty.
So glad to hear you are recovering so quickly. We would miss the voice and the person.
07.14.09 @ 4:09 pm
Like all the other fans, I don’t think anyone will mind if we get re-runs for a couple weeks. I am a great grandma now and just retired 7-11-08 and started watching your show this year. I have been single for many years and frankly had forgotten how to cook. Your show is a learning experience everyday. My grandmother was a chief and now one of my grandsons is too. Get well soon.

This is wonderful news all around! The fact that you corrected your problem and the fact that it is over and you are feeling so well!! I am doing the Happy Dance! Let’s hope you will not be bothered by stained vocal cords again… but you will have to make some serious changes in your life style. I hope you realize the importance of taking care of yourself. We need your voice - to guide us in the kitchen - so pay attention to your vocal cords and give them a rest when they demand one!
Rach, you RoCk!!
07.14.09 @ 7:45 pm
Glad to hear you had the surgery and all went well. Your recovery sure is quick. Get plenty of rest so your throat and body can heal.
07.14.09 @ 8:46 pm
I hope that you are fine now… but basically when I have cough or throat problems I go to a chinese drugstore and buy a bottle of “Pei Pa Koa,” a chinese syrup with herbs that can soothe your throat and still make your voice soft and sweet… Most used by some of the singers here in the Philippines.
07.14.09 @ 11:15 pm

im sorry to hear about your throat. im glad it was benign. im 13 and i love your show it inspired me to fallow my dream to be a chef. i’ve been cooking since i was 18 months old. i love to create and make up my own resapease(?)again im glad it was benign

Glad to hear the procedure went well. Get lots of rest. Can’t wait to hear what you sound like now. It will take some getting used to since we’re all used to the raspy voice. Hopefully this will put an end to all the negative comments you were getting in the tabloids. Love and hugs.
07.15.09 @ 12:29 am
Dear Rach,
I have enjoyed all 3 of your shows (The Rachel Ray show, 30 min meals and that traveling one). Like everyone that gets to “know you” I love your kind and funny nature while you give great and informative info/advice. I wish you a speedy recovery and was curious if you could mention on the show or here how you came to find the cyst as it may help others…( I was wondering if it was from someone here who seemed very concerned for you and you mentioned your voice was always like it is and it was nothing serious) By the way hope you keep some of that sexy raspy Marlo Thomas like voice! You and Oprah have the greatest jobs! Doing what you love and get to meet all those celebs! I am so jealous! Seriously take care! Do what the Doc and nurses tell you to do and you are sure to have a successful recovery.
Love ya,
Barb
P.S. Love when you have John on …your such a cute couple!
07.15.09 @ 9:52 am
Rachael,
Thanks for the update. Stay out of the kitchen and get COMPLETE rest. John will do the cooking for a while and I’m sure Mom has been by and will help alot, Moms and Mom in Laws are good for that. Prayers are with you, speedy recovery.
07.15.09 @ 11:15 am
I AM VERY HAPPY EVERYTHING TURNED OUT GREAT, GOOD LUCK… WE CELEBRATE THE SAME BIRTH DATE AUG. 25 th 1957 I LOVE YOUR 30 MIN. MEALS THERE GREAT, I LIKE TO COOK AND SO DOES MY GIRLFRIEND… OUR PICTURES ARE ON FACEBOOK.

Glad to hear you are doing well. Don’t rush the recovery. Take your time and play with your dog (silently)of course. Always enjoy your show so take it easy and know we are all praying for your continued success and being back to 100 percent soon.
07.15.09 @ 11:56 am
I’ll be praying for a speedy, successful recovery for you! I appreciate all that you do - enjoy this down time.

Hey, Rach,
Glad to hear your procedure went so well. Hope you learned some sign language beforehand, although your hands already seem to communicate really well.
Rest, get well soon, but don’t rush it.

Rachael,
So glad to hear your procedure went well. I love your cooking show on Food Net Work and your Rachael Ray Show. Enjoy the time of rest and come back with new recipes. I’ve been watching your shows since I was in the hospital in early 2008. It was the only show that kept me awake long enough to enjoy. I’ve started a notebook of some your recipes. My husband loves to be the test subject of your recipes. Take care and God bless,

07.15.09 @ 4:31 pm
Hi Rachael-
Sounds like you got to have some rest this summer. I am happy you are feeling so great!
I am excited about seeing you on QVC on Aug 2 - to get the sneak peek at all your new products which I am waiting to be in stock. I already have a list. But what is equally exciting is that we get to a sneak peek at hearing your new voice before season 4 of the RR Show!!
I will be watching on Aug 2!!!
Keep getting better and better everyday!
You are a rock star!

Dear Rach,
So sorry to hear about your throat. So glad to hear it wasn’t cancer. I hope all goes well for you.
I LOVE your show. You are so fun to watch. You make cooking fun as it should be. I just wish you baked. I have some quick and REAL EASY recipes and they taste GOOD! If you would like I would send some of them to you. I PROMISE they are EASY!!!
07.16.09 @ 1:36 pm

Hey Rachael,
Stop Cooking!!!! No need to be, you have a hubby and and a great family to serve you. Just relax, watch TV and have fun with your cute dog. You don’t need to be up and cooking, we know you work hard enough. So just take it easy and feel well!!

Hi Rachael!
So it’s Friday today! Are you able to talk yet? And the big question: Do you like your new voice , if it has changed any? I hope your down time did your whole body good!
Keep getting well and remember to take time out to Rest and give yourself some quiet time everyday! Especially once the new RR Show gets going again!
You are AMAZING!

07.17.09 @ 10:42 am
I am glad your procedure went well and pray that you have no more problems.
I am also wanting to ask how do I find the recipe you did on todays show for: “Bow Tie Pasta with Squash” that looks like mac and cheese. Today I think is 7-17-09
Donna
07.17.09 @ 11:36 am
Looking forward to your return to the air. My 25 year old son got me tuned in to your show, and I love it. He loves to cook, and “wings it” alot with recipies, like I suspect you do(funny, he just started his flight lessons). Rest and be better soon.
07.18.09 @ 3:53 pm
hi rachael.i also wanted to know if your voice changed at all.i love you.
07.18.09 @ 3:55 pm
i can’t wait for season 4 to start!
07.18.09 @ 8:16 pm

Rach,
You are a wonderful human being and I admire you very much. You are the kind of person that I hope I am. You are lucky to have the Mom you have and you are so inspiring to so many. I am very happy that you have your throat issue fixed. I am also happy that you help so many pets with your site. I have a Canine Assistant and she is such a blessing, very spoiled but a wonderful friend. Keep up the good things you do to help so many.
07.19.09 @ 2:49 pm
i love you rach.
07.20.09 @ 8:31 am
Glad to hear that you finally had your throat taken care of and that all is well. My mom and i watch you regularly and was concerned about your throat, glad to hear it went well. God Bless you and your family.
07.20.09 @ 12:37 pm
Rachel,
I just had my third surgery to remove a growth from my vocal cord just like you did last week. I was fortunate the first few times that my test results came back clean. Unfortunately, the biopsy from my third surgery came back showing throat cancer. Fortunately for me the cancer is in its earliest stages and it is curable. I wish you all of the best with your recovery. I am glad that everything worked out well for you.
07.20.09 @ 3:40 pm
Glad to hear no cancer. I was not so fortunate, in 03′ in was diagnosed with Stage 4 inoperable throat cancer. I was not given a very good prognosis to say the least. But at the time I had a 8 month old baby girl who needed her Mom. I under went chemo and radiation. The side effects are awful. I have very little saliva (which means I don’t eat like I used to)and have a build up of scar tissue on my neck and jaw muscles and now I have dental problems and many more.But, I fought and I survived much to all my doctors dismay and I am in remission now. But the best thing is I get to be a Mommy to my little girl who just turn 7 this past Saturday. God Bless and Take Care.
07.20.09 @ 11:29 pm
Dearest Rach, I was truly disturbed to read in our local paper that you had already had “throat surgery.” I am thankful that prayers have been answered and that you are doing so well! Back into the kitchen after 3 HOURS? No wonder everything I have made from my BOB tastes so good; you are one dedicated cook … and such an inspiration!
07.21.09 @ 12:51 pm
hi rachael,
sorry you had to have the surgery, but you will be better soon and talk a lot again, haha
I love your show, you are the only one who made me think of cooking and not just think. I actually started to follow your recipes and surprising my husband. Our fav was the asian keshew chicken.
thank you for making cooking exciting for me. I am sure you have inspired a lot of women. your banana chocolite chip bread is in the oven right now.
07.21.09 @ 12:55 pm
Rachael, is it true (probably isn’t) that you are
undergoing radiation treatments on your throat?
I noticed a story in the National Enquirer yesterday which said you were. Just thought I’d go straight
to the source for the truth! BTW, will you ever
bring Isaboo or your Mom on the show…they’re
probably very proud of ya!
07.21.09 @ 1:17 pm
Rachael, I am soo glad you had that procedure done and I hope and pray for your recovery. Don’t rush the talking. We want our Rach back in good shape. Just to let you know, I have been buying Nutrish for my shepard mix who is almost two years old and he loves it. He won’t eat anything else. Debbie
07.21.09 @ 8:44 pm
Rachael, I’m currently going thru the same procedure’s you are. My first surgery was May 18th and the CANCER is in my cords as well as my vocal box. I started my radation treatment’s 3 weeks ago I have 4 weeks to go. I’m at the no talking stage and solid food is out of the question right now. I wish you the best with everything you will face getting thru this. I will be following your story as I live my own…..GOD BLESS YOU!!!! I love the show…show me what I can do with a blender hahaha
07.26.09 @ 3:08 am
hello rachael , i can’t stand hearing you had a surgery
i am a huge fan of you and my heat’s broken now. but i hope you get very well and wish the best for you.
07.29.09 @ 1:11 am
Hi Rach
So glad to hear you are doing well. I was told I have polyps on my vocal chords and tried the voice therapy also. I am curious to know the name of the procedure you had and if you actually have your normal voice back. My voice has been strained for over 1 1/2 yrs. It’s actually tiring to talk and I really miss being able to sing. Most anxious to hear of your progress. Take care of yourself before anything - those 1st two weeks are most critical not to scar your vocal chord. My prayers are with you and can’t wait to hear your new improved voice. Keep smiling!!!
07.30.09 @ 12:14 am
so glad it went ok.
07.30.09 @ 8:24 am
Congratulations on your successful surgery, Rachael! I’m an aspiring teen chef and you’re my favorite TV personality and I can’t wait to see more recipes of your’s! Get well soon!
07.31.09 @ 2:57 am
Hey Rach
I will miss ur raspy voice nowing that i have one also but it is just heretitary for me i use to hate it but it kinda grew on me lol hope all is well get plenty of rest and take care and ty for all the inspiration we love u for it keep smiling

08.02.09 @ 3:04 pm

hi Rach glad you’re doing good , keep taking care of yourself and rest, I just would like to tell you that I’m watching your show today and wanted to give you a tip about the Human Lab, I’m an Avon Representative and there is a facial cream that Avon sells that it work very well, maybe some of the viewers would like to tried, I’ve and it works, I’ve done in my mustache and it removes it completely, it’s easy, cheap and lasts about two weeks or more I guess depending on how much facial hair you have. The cream is called Skin So Soft Facial cream remover, if anyone is interested they can contact me at 415-240-9806, or go directly to the Avon website. Thank you for allowing to write to you, and again I’m glad you’re doing good after your surgery.

Your new voice is ROCK STAR Perfect!!!!
Congrats!

Was wondering about the diffeeent ring you have on does not look like your wedding ring
08.04.09 @ 11:11 am
I am glad that you were able to get your throat fixed. I have a quick question about one of your recipes. I want to make the Bacon wrapped blue Cheese Stuffed Chicken, Green Beans and Smashed Potatoes with Green Onions. Can I make it with rice instead of lettuce and use Parm cheese instead of blue cheese.
08.07.09 @ 12:30 am
Hi Rach! I was wondering if you are going to be having a pots and pan give away again? I love your stuff but lost my job and if I can win a give away that would be so so sweet! Although I am not that lucky! Thanks
08.08.09 @ 7:08 pm

08.10.09 @ 10:20 pm
hey Rachael…..
si glad to hear you came thru fine. I cant imagine not talking for days. yikes.
I love your show. My grandaughter who is 7 1/2 has been watching you since she could talk.
she loves you and loves to help me cook and bake.
thank you for being such an inspiration to all of us, especially the kids.
08.11.09 @ 9:18 am
Hi Rachael,
I love to watch your show. See what you are wearing cooking and your guest. You are always smiling make me happy when i might not be feeling well myself. I am a retired nurse and I was worried about you, my little sunshine girl. Glad you had this taken care of. Sincerely Your South Carolina Friend.
08.11.09 @ 8:45 pm
I had a lesion on my vocal cord and wasn’t as lucky as you. It turned out to be cancer so I had to go through the whole 9 yards - surgery, chemo and radiation. I hope your procedure scared you into thinking about quitting smoking…it’s worth it!
08.12.09 @ 10:50 am
Hi Rach,
I am so glad that you opted to have the surgery. You sounded like you were getting so much worse by the day. My youngest son is 7 an loves to watch the show with me every day. He has a short little video that he has made for you, but I don’t know how to upload it. Hope I can figure it out…it is about your catchy theme song. He sings it ALL THE TIME.
Glad you are doing well, we are so looking forward to the new season!
Love,
Debby Ferguson
08.14.09 @ 6:46 pm

Dear Rachael,
I am sorry about your throat but i am glad you will be fine. My name is Josh and I am 14 years old. I am a HUGE fan. My parents say that they grew up with Julia and I say i grew up with you. Cooking is my passion and people say i am very advanced for my age. My dream is to be a Food Network star like you when i grow up. My mom started selling my food at her work and in one week we made $150 by selling belgian pecan waffles and my homeade spicy crackers. (2.50 each) I already know how to correctly chop almost any vegitable and just recently purchased my own 8 inch chefs blade. I love being in front of the camera and have already made a cooking show that i would like to send to you if i can figure out how. I know you are very busy but if you have time do you think you can give me some tips? Thank you SO much.
Your Biggest Fan,
Josh
08.18.09 @ 12:14 am

08.18.09 @ 4:54 pm
Hi,how are you? Glad to know you had the surgery done,hope you are well…feel better soon take care..
Love your show!!!
All the way from Trinidad
08.19.09 @ 8:49 am
Racheal, Is it believed that the cyst is what caused your raspy (sexy) voice? I too have the same voice and have had it for all my life??? I can can someone that I have only spoken to once and they know who I am because of my voice. I have had doctors who have asked me if I have been checked for throat cancer, when I explain to them that I have always sounded this way they are like oh alright!!! Our voice is very distinctive and I do not mind sounding a little raspy and sexy. The only time I have issues is when I am trying to disipline my children and I just can not get that mean stern voice!!!
08.19.09 @ 1:54 pm
hey rachael i hope u feeling better get a lot of rest i loce watching your shows iam a minney rachael

08.21.09 @ 11:36 am
Rachael u r an enchanting raven-haired pixie with a heart of gold. You’ve seemed sad for a while now on your shows and I miss the light and happy-go-lucky humor. I got on this site just to write u this: Don’t let people get u down. Ur hardworking, not lazy. So what if u guesstimate measurements? The food still comes out delicious. Ur pretty, you eat what u want like me. Life’s too short to wear “slimming black” all the time. Finally, ur a good person and anyone would be lucky to have u. Keep smiling Rach!
<3 Winnie
08.21.09 @ 10:45 pm
hi. so glad to hear with my ears how well your recovery went. i am just one of your many friends who are glad to have you back . keep up with your great personality,smile and top rated shows .
08.23.09 @ 12:57 pm
Happy to hear that the Surgery went well. Can’t wait till your back on your new shows. I have one questions please. Do you have to use a Pot that is coated when you make Sauce? I’ve used a Stainless Steel one for years but heard that I’ve been doing it wrong. Please answer me. Love you Rachael.
08.24.09 @ 6:07 pm
Hi Rach,
I recently took a photo of you to the hairdresser because I have always had long hair and wanted it cut shorter. (you in orange/red shirt on form to order magazine) They did a great job. My husband calls me Rachael now. I just read about your throat surgery and it made me feel better. I had a polyp removed from my vocal cord this morning. It is so weird not talking at all. I love to talk and also had a raspy voice. Hope mine turns out great like yours. Take care.. L.B.
08.24.09 @ 6:15 pm
Sorry, forgot to say “Happy Birthday tomorrow”. Mine is the day after yours.. Have a great one!!! L.B.

09.02.09 @ 10:40 am
I WAS READING A BLOG ON THE ACAI BERRY AND COLON X FREE TRIAL. AT ONE TIME THE GIRL NAMED ALYSSA WAS FROM ARCADIA FLORIDA AND THEN SHE WAS FROM NAPLES, FLORIDA. HER STORY CHANGED IN LIKE FIVE MINUTES. THINGS LIKE THIS I CAN’T BELEIVE. I’M FROM ARCADIA AND I DIDN’T RECOGNIZE THIS LADY. TRUST ME WE KNOW EACH OTHER HERE IN ARCADIA.
09.10.09 @ 3:12 am
Hi.
I didn’t know how to contact you in the best way, so I thought I made a comment here.
I’m a teacher for the lower grades in Sweden, and this morning (I have got a cold, so I’m home recovering) I happen to see one program from your show. It was when parents meets teachers and you help them to see things from both sides.
And I loved the idea. I have worked at both daycare and in school. (I’m not a parent yet but anyway). And I recognized a lot from my reality in that program.
Thank you for a great show.
Have a sunny day.
Greetings from south of Sweden.
09.10.09 @ 8:16 pm
Dear Rach;
It’s probably none of my business, but I hope you wearing a red circlet instead of your wedding rings does not mean there is trouble at home. I’m a devoted fan and wish that all is well with you. Also hope your recovery from surgery is speedy and successful.
09.15.09 @ 3:44 pm
Rachael,
I subscribe to your magazine, in one issue i cut out a receipe and discovered that the entire receipe was not included, you had to go online to find it. I have been looking for weeks on your web side and cannot find it. Can you help me? the dish is made in a pie plate and begins with red pepper strips lineing the dish. The top of the page says if you want entire receie go to rachaelraymag/com/may
I have tried and tried to find it. Can you email the total receipe?
09.15.09 @ 5:51 pm
hey rach,
i couldn’t find anywhere else appropriate to post this - i hope that you read these comments!!

Feel Better!
09.29.09 @ 9:39 pm
Hi Rachel, I watch your show everyday. You did a real quick recipe and I could not get it on line. It was sliced eggplant, I think dredged in flour, egg, and crushed walnuts and some other nuts. You cook them and make a sandwich with tomatoes, and cheese. How do you cook them? I would really the the recipe.
Thank you,
Marti
10.05.09 @ 6:53 am
Hi Rachel,

10.07.09 @ 11:10 am
Hope all is well now and that you wont have to go through that again.
10.07.09 @ 9:20 pm
Rachael,
You look soooo great!!!! I love your longer hair and your slimmer figure. You were aging before my eyes!!! Whomever your fashion figure had it all wrong back then. I kept saying to myself as I watched you–who was your wardrobe coordinator???? She/he should have been fired!!! I at 65 and a breast cancer surivor, had a better wardrobe than you–thanks to my two beautiful daughters, 35 and 32 years of age!!! You do not have to look old, no matter what your age!!!
I have always loved your enthusiastic personality and positive attitude!!! I watch your show most every day!!!!! Keep up the good wor!!!~ One question though, why do you wear a slim wedding band rather than your original diamond/band ensemble? I am wondering. Is it because of your cooking? Let the viewers know,because if I am wondering, so do others.
Thanks–keep up the good work!!! Fay Kline from Fort Wayne, Indiana
10.12.09 @ 9:12 pm

10.19.09 @ 8:52 pm
I just want to know why you aren’t wearing your wedding rings anymore???? Did you lose them or what?
10.23.09 @ 7:27 pm
Hi Rachael,
I came across you blog,i watch your cooking show ,you know what i am pregnant this my 27th week,i have lost my voice,it takes lot of effort for me to speak,i went to ENT they told me that i had this Papilloma,then they got biopsy and then nothing came out.So i am wondering is it because of my pregnancy,god knows i never had this problem.What do you suggest wait untill my pregnancy and then if there is problem i can see a doctor.Also i do not earn that much,never expected at this point of life.I am worried how will i talk to my new born.
10.24.09 @ 8:50 pm
Rachel,
I had a thryoglossal cyst which was growing and making a lump on the side of my neck (a little like yours). They removed it at Flower Fifth Avenue Hospital years ago when Dr.Kempner was alive. You would have loved his work and him. He made the incision in the crease of my neck so you could not see it. I could not talk for a while (it was terrible) and am fine now. Unfortunately, they can and sometimes grow back. In my case, I think I have a few nodules in my throat (neck) and I am not doing anything about them now. If they aren’t bothering me then I am going to leave them alone. I am 66 and you are young, so be diligent about removing each one that comes up. It will prolong your life and your voice. I WOULD TAKE VOICE LESSONS EVERY WEEK IF I WERE YOU BECAUSE IT WILL HELP YOUR THROAT TREMENDOUSLY.
Keeping you quiet must be a difficult task and John has his work cut out for himself. Please tell him I said it is his turn to care for you now - hand and foot. I am a New Yorker (used to be) and love your accent. Rest your vocal chords.
You are one of a kind.
11.09.09 @ 3:12 pm
Hi Rach,
I’m glad that your throat procedure went well and that your problem is very treatable.
I think that I remember that you did a show about people with voice problems. I would love to see you draw attention to a problem which I happen to have.
I have a condition called Spasmodic Dysphonia. My vocal chords spasm uncontrollably, which makes my voice sound like that of a very elderly woman. Diane Remes, who speaks on NPR, also has this. I have been having Botox injections directly into my vocal chords, which has kept me talking and kept me in the classroom while I was teaching.
Check out the website of The National Spasmodic Dysphonia Association. You would be a wonderful person to support this association and to draw attention to our rare disorder.
Thanks,
Marla
11.10.09 @ 8:22 am
…. love u Rach!,Im so glad, you will be fine now, but be careful ok?. You are looking good by the way, I like your hair longer, cute he he,. So, keep it up, goodluck,love your show!, the Best!, God bless!..take care.
11.17.09 @ 4:08 pm
Racheal,
Just wanted to say THANK YOU for caring about all the helpless animals in the world. alot of people who make it big forget the little things in life.
I heard about how you donated a large amount of money to a speical lady to help with a animal rescue.
it’s something close to my heart with 11 pets and a dream of some day opening my own rescue. It hasn’t happened yet,but I feel I want to when I retire and can give the animals alot more of my time.
Well Just wanted to say thanks from all the animals .
take care and keep up the great work. love your passion for food and animals.

11.22.09 @ 12:39 pm
hi there i went though the same throat stuff ok what did you start to eat? on solid foods i am tired of soup my throat is raw from the tubs
01.13.10 @ 9:45 pm
Hi Rachael! First I am so glad that you are doing much better. I am a new fan of yours. : )
I was raised in a foster home with Italian Parents and make my own sauce from scratch that my foster mother taught me. I so enjoyed the one that you had on your show - an also wanted to let you know that I made the Stuff Shell Casserole you had on your show, for dinner tonight. WOW delish for sure!! I do not think I will be any time soon standing over the counter stuffing shells. (lol) This receipe is sooooo yummy! My hubby loved it, I loved it!
May you and your show keep on giving us such pleasure, kindness, and bunches of smiles!!! oh Yes excellent receipes to! Keep up the good work…..
Sincerely,
Lori Benson
03.15.10 @ 3:09 pm
Rach, I watched your program today and you are still horse. What is up with that? I hope you feel better soon…
take care
04.12.10 @ 5:51 pm
Rest Well M.G.B.
04.15.10 @ 2:22 pm
I’m so sorry for the off-topic nature of this, but I’ve had this particular burr in my brain for (what feels like) ever.
Whenever anyone lists out all the popular Rachael Ray expressions, they all avoid this one, and I think it’s for the same reason I haven’t written it yet (it’s a good word!) - that said, exactly how the heck DO you spell it:
Jeuj?
Juge?
Jeush?
Jeuzh?
Geugg?
Is it French? Is it a self-fabricated word? This has eaten the brain of my inner word geek for far too long. I mean, it’s not like I can exactly search for it in the dictionary or online, because I haven’t a clue how it even starts!
Please, someone save me from this brain melt!
Thanks much,
Kat
04.22.10 @ 1:50 pm
Rachel,
First, I love ya! Go get yourself a hot steam humidifier (they’re about $20 at the corner drug store) and place it next to your bed. Run it every single night (don’t miss one night). I had similiar voice issues. After trying all sorts of therapies, the humidifer gave me my voice back right away. If I miss a night, then the next day I have no voice again! I sounded just like you sound. You come from the mountains of NY State and I do too (well, sort of, I have a summer house). Last fall I noticed too many trees with very green mold on them and I really truely believe that mold is making lots and lots of people sick…Please try the hot steam humidifer for a few nights and see if your voice gets a little better.
Cheryl V (New York City and Jefferson, NY)
05.03.10 @ 9:41 pm
I am glad to see you are okie…..hope all is well with you. Ms. Ray Can I offer my fantastic sausage stew recipe to you to use on your show.
05.22.10 @ 11:03 pm
I am glad things are looking good. Hey Rach you wear some of the prettiest necklaces - like the one when reg was on your show- where do you get them?
07.13.10 @ 11:32 am
I am so glad that you did this for yourself and did not put it off. I have had vocal nodes from over-use, pressing performance schedules and allergies. I was so scared to do anything for fear it would be the wrong thing to do. I researched and consulted with many singers and doctors and through vocal rest, vocal therapy, diet and life changes I slowly got well. I still sing and teach. What a joy it was to perform again for the public after extended vocal rest and therapy! When your voice is part of your mission in life, you really appreciate when it is back.:-) DO not try to do things too soon just because you can. Follow doctor’s orders please and do not allow your audience/fans/friends/family to drive your recovery schedule. I speak from experience. All mean well but you are the one that will live with the consequences.You want this to be a permanent fix not a stop gap to the “next time”. Don’t mean to be preachy but I’m concerned. Prayers for your speedy recovery!
08.30.10 @ 2:10 pm
Rachel,
I haven’t watched your show since your surgery. What a surprise when I finally starting watching again. I’m a retired Speech Pathologist and had noticed that you had symptoms of vocal nodules. I’m very happy that you had the surgery. Your voice sounds so much clearerand pleasant. I’m glad that it worked for you.
11.08.10 @ 4:20 pm
Hi Rachel Ray. my name is Nadia Ramin and we are doing a iron chef competion at school and you are our inspiration and we are doing your recipes. we would love if you came tour school at nazareth middle school in Pa. we would love your company.
02.04.11 @ 7:05 pm
Dear Rachel, I have listened to your throat saga, and have hoped you would find something to help. My husband has had throat problems for years and has had two surgeries, He has finally found relief. Just one tablespoon of Buckwheat Honey before bed and his troubles are over. Hope this helps. Best of Luck Marcia
02.23.11 @ 1:24 pm
Dear Rachel,
Hi my name is Katie. I don’t know of any other way to contact you so I hope this is okay. Back in October I lost a great family friend. He was 73. He loved your shows. He would watch them everyday. When he was in the hospital he would still watch your shows. Every time he came over for dinner he would say how you would cook something and we should try it that way one day. He really did love your shows. I just wanted to thank you for being on TV and for being you. Thank you.
Katie
08.27.11 @ 1:16 pm
Dear Rachel, I have been following your show about Christina and her weight loss. I missed the July 18th show regarding the prom. I tried to find it on your website but couldn’t. Please let me know if you will be airing it again and when. I love your show and always watch it and DVR it when I’m not going to be home. Keep up the good work!!
Patricia
10.09.11 @ 3:26 pm
Rachael, I listen to your show as much as possible and I even cook some of your meals. I have a friend I cook for and he loves all the meals I cook.. I just had surgery on my neck and had my throat moved to do the procedure..I can feel for you and know how it feels when you aren’t able to talk very well..I now have trouble eating and swallowing.. I’m glad to know that you came through the surgery with no problems..Keep up the good work with the show.. Debora
11.28.11 @ 2:46 pm
Just goes to show that you can’t keep a good woman down!! Recently my mom told me that she has a paralysed vocal cord. I’ve never heard of such a thing so I did some research and it could possibly be cancerous. My mom being a strong woman like yourself I can only hope and hold my breath that like you comes through this with little incident. Keep on cooking. Take care. Alittle tip, frozen spinich is great on pizza.
02.11.12 @ 1:05 am
Rach, I am so glad you are well again. I watch your show everyday, most often while prepping my own dinner.
I too underwent surgery for something they found wrapped around my Larnxe, I was not so luck, the tumor could not be removed and came back as cancer. I am happy to say that after 28 raditation treatments, I am just 13 months clear. Not saying that I did not undergo pure hell during treatment. I was unable to swallow with out meds to numb me. I am still working on getting my voice back. It will never be the same again. Once year after I was told my news now my 80 year old mother was told she has breast cancer. We have a good outlook on this and we will keep fighting and beating this cancer from out lives.

I thought that I would share an great story about a 12yr old kid that uses a Rachel Ray cookbook to make dinner every night for his family. The story touches my heart and thought it would Rachels also.
Tampa- Tampa Bay’s youngest heroes are being recognized for their selfless deeds.
The Tampa Bay Lightning, center Steve Steven Stamkos and St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital are honoring 113 boys and girls from Hillsborough, Manatee, Pasco, Pinellas and Polk counties at the 15th-annual Kids are Heroes awards ceremony Monday.
One of the nominees is 12-year-old Jared Upmann, a seventh-grader at Mulrennan Middle School.
Upmann cooks a healthy dinner every night for his family, which has grown from five to 10 people in the last year.
Upmann’s aunt got sick so her five children moved into the Valrico home.
He volunteered to start cooking for the family because his single mother works full time and raises nine kids.
“Mom doesn’t get home until 8 or 8:30 and dinner is already done, cleaned up and everything by the time she gets home, l said Upmann. “So she is really less stressed than she would if she had to cook.”
Upmann’s mother, Sue Heacox, nominated him and says her son is a true hero.
“He really stepped up at a time when, he’s a kid, you know, (and he) he doesn’t have to cook,” said Heacox. “And, I do check in with him all the time. Jared I’ll cook. He says, no mom I love it.”
The 12-year-old has never had an official cooking lesson, but he uses a Rachel Ray cookbook for kids to whip up recipes.
Upmann wants to own a restaurant one day, but for now, he says the reward is seeing the faces around the family table.
“I see them before they even eat, they’re like I can’t wait to eat this and it makes me feel really good,” said Upmann.
Upmann and the other nominees will find out if they’ve won at the awards ceremony Monday.
Here is the link to the story…

Hello there, You have performed an incredible job. I will certainly digg it and in my view recommend to my friends. I’m sure they’ll be benefited from this website.
