All I'll say is, even though she may be my girlfriend on TV, Rachel Ray is full of crap. In setting off on a delicious looking 30 minute meal (downloaded nicely from the food network web site), even having all the ingredients (well, all the ones I planned on using), and thinking "It'll be fun to see how long this takes, 30 minutes on TV is probably like 40 minutes max in real time..." I have now decided those food network PA assistant cooking types MUST do a huge amount of work.
In fairness to Elizabeth who made this 30 minute meal a couple of weeks ago in about 35 minutes, it can be done (though I've never seen such frantic washing, cutting, chopping, mashing, and creative time keeping from Elizabeth before or since).
And so, 30 minute Smoked Turkey Shepherd's Pie in exactly...
1 hour and 2 minutes.
30 minute meals my ass.

You speak the truth. I will say, however, that there are a couple of her meals that I've made 5-6 times, that are now approaching the 30 minute mark--once I'd gotten them all figured out. There should be a disclaimer about that, though...
