"30 Minute Meals is coming back to the Food Network," Rachael Ray announced in her most recent Instagram post. Yes, the beloved Food Network oldie will be back for 30 more episodes starting on April 1.
Though she didn't give a lot of detail about the reboot, Rachael went on to say: “It’s gonna have all the cool [vibes] that we had back in the day, but it’s going to be for a whole new generation. I have written the first 15 episodes already—I think it’s pretty amazing.”
According to Variety, the show will also air live throughout the month on the network's Facebook page and via its other digital platforms, something that wasn't possible when the show first premiered in 2001. The last season of 30 Minute Meals ended in 2012.
“[Rachael's] time-saving and creative ideas for whipping up delicious meals at home are perfect for the home cook of any level," Food Network president Courtney White told the magazine, "while her infectious energy and enthusiasm make viewers feel like they are right there cooking along with her in the kitchen.”
