Home Chef Reveals its Biggest Collaboration Yet with Television Host, Bestselling Author and Philanthropist, Rachael Ray

The New Line of Home Chef Meals Makes it Easier than Ever to Cook Like Rachael Ray

 CHICAGO, Sept. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Home Chef, the leading meal solutions company available online and in stores, today announced its biggest partnership yet with television host, bestselling author and philanthropist, Rachael Ray, bringing her delicious meals directly to home cooks nationwide.

Starting this month, Home Chef is rolling out exclusive Rachael Ray recipes on a weekly basis for six months – that's 26 recipes! The collaboration makes it easier than ever to cook Rachael's recipes at home, combining her simple, delicious meals with Home Chef's convenient service that sets home cooks up for success from the prep to the plate.

"I am so excited to partner with Home Chef to bring tasty, easy-to-prepare meals to homes nationwide," said Rachael Ray. "Teaching others how to cook has always been a passion of mine, and this collaboration allows me to help people build confidence in the kitchen with my own recipes delivered straight to your door."

Rachael believes that cooking doesn't have to be difficult to be delicious, so it was important to her to create recipes that required minimal tools and techniques to cut down on prepwork. This belief, coupled with Home Chef's straight-to-your-door service with pre-prepped ingredients, made the collaboration a perfect fit.

"At Home Chef, we're always looking for new ways to bring our fans meals they'll love," said Shira Schwarz, vice president of brand marketing for Home Chef. "Rachael Ray is someone our customers admire for her quick and easy recipes that taste amazing, so she was a natural fit for this menu partnership."

Rachael Ray's recipes suit all types of home cooks and include many easy-to-make Home Chef formats, such as the Classic Meal Kit, minimal mess Oven-Ready meals, and Culinary Collection meal kits for adventurous cooks. The lineup includes some of Rachael's fan-favorite flavors and ingredients – such as Italian-style dishes, burgers, and more.

These meals are classic Rachael Ray creations made even simpler with easy-to-follow instructions and pre-portioned ingredients -- all available exclusively via Home Chef online and at Kroger Family grocery stores nationwide. Some highlights from the menu include (but are not limited to):

• Buffalo-Style Turkey Chili with blue cheese crema and tortilla strips
