If given a choice I would choose Ina hands down over Rachel Ray! I’m from a pretty working class part of the midwest, and Ina kinda has a bit of a reputation as being one of those “uppity big city types”. I mean foodies in the midwest love her just fine, but if I was recommending a learn to cook TV show to one of my midwestern friends, they tend to relate better to Rachel Ray. The librarian in me just considers it a part of helping every reader find their book.
