Rachael Ray's Transformation Is Seriously Turning Heads

Rachael Ray is one of the most famous food television personalities today, hosting multiple Food Network shows and her long-running daytime talk show. Plus, there's a magazine with her name, and she runs a nonprofit organization. Check out Ray's transformation from a middle-class kid in New York to media mogul.

It's hard to imagine Rachael Ray ever struggling to get by, but her early life couldn't have been more different than her life today. Ray was raised in Lake George, New York, along with her older half-sister and her younger brother. In a 2006 interview on 20/20, she jokingly referred to herself as a "hick from the sticks."

She grew up in a family that absolutely loved food. Her mother's father, for instance, grew his own food and cooked everything his family ate. Her mother went on to own a series of restaurants. On her father's side, Ray was exposed to the cooking traditions of Louisiana. As Ray told Food Network,

"My first vivid memory is watching my mom in a restaurant kitchen. ... I was 3 or 4."

And apparently, "vino," Italian for "wine," was her first word.
