Rachel Ray's "So You Think You Can Cook"

Rachel Ray is launching "So You Think You Can Cook?" — a nationwide search for an enterprising foodie. "We just want to give a person — a real person, not a chef or somebody specially trained to do this for a living — a shot at showing everybody their personality and how much fun you can have with food," Ray, 39, said in a telephone interview Wednesday with The Associated Press. Ray and her producers will narrow the field of candidates to five promising cooks, who will undergo two weeks of intense competitions and challenges before a winner is announced on the air in late November.
