The world according to Rachel Ray

Rachel Ray hosts a chat-come-cookery show of the type where lines such as "Now I'm adding the broccoli" elicits rapturous applause. Anyway, I paused my channel-hopping today because she had Gordon Ramsay on the show. Discussing simple family cooking, she helpfully explained to Ramsay that "There's a recession in the US right now." Ramsay, I'm pleased to say, widened her horizons and explained that it isn't just in the States. Sadly, I can't help thinking that she needed his help on this.

The other point of course is that English-language TV is thin on the ground here.
