Every Day with Rachael Ray magazine welcomes as contributors Daisy Martinez and Evette Rios, who share Rachael's can-do approach to life. Martinez and Rios will introduce two new columns, "Mucho Gusto" and "Kitchen Fix," to help readers spice up their kitchens and their lives, effective with the September 2007 issue.
Martinez, whom Ray refers to as her "spicy, saucy amiga," will celebrate her Hispanic roots--and America's growing Hispanic community--in "Mucho Gusto," a column dedicated to Latin food and flavors, and to the importance of dining with family and friends. Martinez's recipes will be available in English and Spanish on RachaelRayMag.com. Prior to joining the magazine, Martinez was the host of her own PBS program, "Daisy Cooks!"
Rios, one of Rachael's buddies from her syndicated talk show, brings her creative approach to interior design to Every Day with Rachael Ray's popular "Kitchen Fix" column. The column will follow Rios as she "fixes" a reader's kitchen with DIY tasks that homeowners can undertake in just a weekend--and will show readers how small changes make a big impact. Previously, Rios was a designer for HGTV's "Freestyle" and TLC's "In A Fix."
"We're thrilled Daisy and Evette are joining the Every Day with Rachael Ray family," said editor Silvana Nardone. "Rachael has always wanted to add more voices to the magazine, and these two women fit right in. Daisy's fun, no-fuss approach to Latin cooking and Evette's energetic, can-do kitchen tips make sense to us."
"I'm so excited to bring my passion for Latin foods and lifestyle to Every Day with Rachael Ray," said Martinez. "In the Latin community, the kitchen is the happiest room in the household--one filled with love, family and always with delicious food. I can't think of a better magazine to bring this experience to its readers."
Evette Rios stated, "Kitchen Fix will bring Rachael's contagious 'can-do' attitude to renovating the kitchen, the best room in the home! I couldn't be happier to help readers create functional, beautiful and deeply personal kitchens."
