Rachael Ray and Reader's Digest Launch Magazine
Friday, May 6, 2005 Television's star cooking and food expert Rachael Ray is launching a lifestyle magazine bearing her name and vision with The Reader's Digest Association, Inc. Ray is the popular, upbeat host of three of the Food Network's top-rated television shows including 30-Minute Meals, and the author of a series of cookbooks that have sold more than two million copies. Ray will be the Editor-in-Chief of Every Day with Rachael Ray. She will be supported by magazine industry professionals. Kitty Morgan, formerly of Departures and Editor-in-Chief of Cincinnati Magazine, will serve as Editor; Lucy Sisman, who created the acclaimed designs of Allure and Details magazines, will be Design Director; and Silvana Nardone, a former editor at Saveur magazine and the founder of Fanciulla Specialty Foods, will join as Executive Food Editor. Rachael Ray's magazine will offer recipes as well as practical advice on food destinations and entertaining. Ray will also take readers around the country to meet people who love food -- from top celebrities to authentic artisans to great home cooks. Every Day with Rachael Ray will debut in September with nationwide distribution. Ray said, "My television programs have one thing in common -- the can-do factor. As Editor-in-Chief, I'm pleased to be working with such a talented and passionate team of professionals, all dedicated to creating a totally original food magazine that embraces that can-do attitude. Our magazine is about much more than great food. It will help readers take a big bite out of life." Ray's series of cookbooks have sold more than two million copies and include the following titles: Rachael Ray's 30-Minute Get Real Meals, Rachael Ray Best Eats in Town on $40 a Day, Cooking Rocks! Rachael Ray's 30-Minute Meals for Kids, Cooking 'Round the Clock: Rachael Ray's 30- Minute Meals, and Rachael Ray 30-Minute Meals: Get Togethers.
