Rachael Ray offering school lunch recipes

NEW YORK, Oct. 24 (UPI) -- Celebrity chef Rachael Ray says she hopes to provide the New York public school system with new lunch recipes every month.

The host of "The Rachael Ray Show" is working with the city's public schools to offer New York students tasty, but also healthy, lunches, the New York Post reported Saturday.

The food program involving Ray, who also hosts series such as "30 Minute Meals" and "$40 a Day," begins Monday at Public School 89/IS 289 in Manhattan.

The Post said eventually as many as 600,000 students in the school system will get to eat the Ray-inspired lunches.

Parents interested in her recipes will be able to access them on the celebrity chef's Web site.
