What’s In My Bag: Rachael Ray

Rachel Ray
Michael Pirrocco

How good is this?! Rachael Ray, 46, pours out her purse for Us.

This chef’s Ziplocs aren’t just for her signature sammies. “I don’t think I’ve ever had a real makeup bag,” admits the host of the syndicated Rachael Ray show and ­founder of the ­#9MillionMeals campaign. “I just steal my husband’s ChapStick and carry Visine and Aleve in a plastic baggie. But I do love Dior lip gloss!” What else does Ray, wed to lawyer John Cusimano, 47, have ­cooking in her Cambria tote?

Go Big or Go Home

“My Il Bisonte wallet is very big! I keep all my receipts in there. Plus, it can fit my passport, so I use it while I travel too.”

Throwing SHADES

“Right now, I have Dita sunglasses with me. I go through about 12 pairs a year because somehow I always lose the glasses — but never the cases!”

Seasonal Sounds 

“My husband and I are ’80s kids and love mixtapes. So for all the holidays, he makes me a fantastic playlist. I listen to them on my iPhone, which I just got.”

Play it Safe

“I make sure to have Band-Aids. But usually when I hurt myself cooking, it’s too serious for them to help.”

Food for Thought 

“I write down every single recipe idea in Decomposition Books, which are made out of recycled paper. I have every recipe from the past 20 years!”
