Rachael Ray gives fans a rare peek inside HUGE pantry and kitchen at her New York home …including ‘treasured’ wood-fired pizza oven

We’re used to seeing celebrity cook Rachael Ray making delicious dishes on television, but not in her own kitchen and pantry.

Ray, 51, has been cooking up a storm from her home in Lake Luzerne, New York since the coronavirus pandemic ordered us all to stay home, and on Thursday she invited fans to take a look around. 

The chef shares the home with her husband, John Cusimano, and reveals in the video that she designed it herself by drawing it out on a piece of paper.

The spacious, open-plan design would actually be a perfect fit, should Ray decide to conduct her cooking show from home ever. 

She reveals in the clip that her two favourite appliances are the six-burner gas stove and her wood-fired pizza oven, which she refers to as her “treasures.”  

“John got a music studio, I got a stove and the pizza oven,” she laughs.

The video tour also included a peek inside her huge pantry filled with goodies, as well as a fresh herb garden which is too cold to be used right now.

Meanwhile the talk show host announced that she would be donating $4 million to help fight coronavirus, through The Rachel Ray Foundation website last week.

The donations will be made through The Rachel Ray Foundation and The Yum-O! Organization, with $2 million from each charity ‘directed to help fund critically needed food programs and support services for two-legged and four-legged family members alike.’
