Rachael Ray knows she's harder to find these days, but she's not slowing down. Ray famously walked away three years ago from the Food Network and her syndicated daytime talk show. She wanted to do food her own way. And she says she's still happily doing that. Ray drew crowds at the recent South Beach Wine and Food Festival. She has a production company, Free Food Studios, and is in several new shows on platforms like YouTube, A&E and Disney. She does miss the interaction with a live audience. Ray says her message has always been that people shouldn't be scared to cook. If it doesn’t come out all right, she says, who cares? It’s just dinner.
