Longtime Rachael Ray fans know that her staff affectionally calls her “Rach” — the nickname even appears in articles on Rachael, the official website for “The Rachael Ray Show.” The casual moniker is a nod to the way that the laidback chef and TV veteran invites those around her to share in her life’s joy and triumphs. Coincidently, that openness is also the theme of Ray’s new book, “This Must Be the Place,” which came out on November 9, 2021.

The book’s subtitle is “Dispatches & Food From the Home Front,” and was written during quarantine from Ray and husband John Cusimano’s home in upstate New York. It “contains a whopping 127 recipes and 16 essays on life lessons, loss, gratitude, and the special memories that make a house a home” (via Rachael). Cusimano echoed the description, stating in a humorous Instagram video that the book “reflect[s] the past year and a half of our lives, the heartbreak, the challenges, and the happy endings.” Ray also promoted the book on Instagram, included a pic of a page from the book in which she wrote, “I wanted to sit down and write this book, focusing on what this year meant to me, because despite the social distancing … I felt more connected to the world around me than ever before.”

Rachael Ray’s new book is huge in NYC — literally

Seems like Rach, despite her fame, is still so surprisingly down to earth that she thinks a billboard featuring her brand new book is nothing short of awesome.
