TV's perky cook and show host replied to fan quiries:
Question: If you were stranded on an island but miraculously it had a refrigerator, what 10 ingredients could you absolutely not do without?
Rachael: I'd have to have olive oil, garlic, pasta, canned fish-anchovies, if I had to pick just one-cheese. If my husband were on the island with me, then I have to have salami. I've got to have some prosecco and some other wine, and you need your roughage, so escarole-and I have to have some beans, so I'd pick white.
Question: What were your favorite foods as a child?
Rachael: My grandfather lived with us and was my caretaker, so I liked everything that old Italian men liked. I liked sardines and squid and eating calamari with your fingers and anything with anchovies, anything with garlic and oil. I still eat much the same way today. i was not a very popular girl when I opened by lunch sack.
Question: What is your favorite fast food?
Rachel: There isn't a fast food that I don't like, really.
