30 Minute Meals is a Food Network show hosted by Rachael Ray. Her first of four shows on Food Network debuted in the fall of 2001. The show specializes in convenience cooking for those with little time to cook. The show is recorded live-to-tape, with Ray doing almost all preparation in real time. The show was awarded an Emmy for Best Daytime Service Show in 2006.
A common feature on the program is the creation of new versions of classic dishes (including clam chowder and macaroni and cheese), some of which are traditionally slow to cook. Where this is the case, Ray gives information on how to increase the speed of production. Ray will often prepare a salad or use various greens and vegetables to complement her dishes.
Ray has also done two specials with the title Thanksgiving in 60, based around the idea of a one-hour Thanksgiving dinner.
The series has also led to a group of cookbooks.
The original 30 Minute Meals: Comfort Foods book was widely successful, and has since led to:
