NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Although she's best known for her way around the kitchen, TV host and Rachael Ray stopped by Belmont University for a visit.
The chef spoke to a Belmont University audience Wednesday night about life with food and introduced her new hardcover book, "My Year in Meals." Her husband John Cusimano also lends a hand in the book, listing 100-cocktail recipes for events all year long.
