From Every Day with Rachael Ray
December-January 2008
Good—and Plenty
At the end of the year we all reflect, and at the start of each new year,
we make a list of promises that we try to keep. My promise to you remains
the same, but I renew my commitment each January.
This year, my goal is to get you to take an even bigger bite outta life! I want to share fun, fast, easy and affordable ways to improve the quality
of our everyday lives.
I want to write and share recipes for good food with you. I want to inspire
you to travel more, even if you just drive off in a new direction for a few
hours on a Sunday afternoon—a little adventure keeps us all young!
Recipes for me are like a scrapbook of the places I've been. When I write about the foods I've discovered while traveling, I experience my memories with all my senses and can bring any place on Earth into my kitchen.
In this month's "30-Minute Meals" (page 90), join me on a trip to
Lisbon, Portugal. Earlier this year I traveled to Lisbon for the first
time—now I can visit anytime, through my pots and pans.
Also, check out my bonus 60-minute recipe for lentil soup, which my family makes every New Year's Day. Italians believe that lentils bring good luck,
especially on New Year's—they symbolize coins and lead to a prosperous year. Eat and earn!
Prosperity may be a wonderful thing, but my greatest wishes are common ones. I wish for peace and for the hungry to be fed.
Happy New Year to you and yours!
Love,
