Her next project? Us Weekly caught up with the animal-loving Rachael Ray at the 10-year celebration of her brand Nutrish in New York City on Monday, February 26, where she dished on the appetite of her four-legged-friend — and whether or not a canine cookbook is in the works.
Celebrity Pets With Their Own Social Media AccountsThe 49-year-old talk show host detailed the canine-friendly cake she made for Isaboo, her 13-year-old rescue Pitbull, earlier this month.
“It is a blend from Dickson’s farm market, they give me beef and a little bit or pork that are all sourced within 150 miles of New York. I add lots of parsley to the meat because my dog loves to eat plants outside so she likes a lot of those greens,” she told Us of the recipe, which she documented in multiple Instagram pics.

She continued: “I put in a cup of white rice, a little bit of breadcrumbs, I like to use the whole wheat toasted breadcrumbs, a touch of mint for their breath — it really does help. Then I add two egg yolks, four egg whites and then just bake it like a normal cake. It’s great because it’s high in protein and has good fats in there, it’s a balanced meal. I also like to add in a pinch of sea salt, no pepper of course.”
The Nutrish founder went on to tell Us that her pup “loved the cake,” and that “it’s a very well balanced meal for a dog or a person.”

However, it’s not happening just yet. “I’ve asked millions of times,” she added. “But none of the publishers want to do it, maybe you could put in a plea for me.”
As previously reported, after launching Nutrish in 2008, the television personality has been donating a portion of each sale to The Rachael Ray Foundation, which focuses on helping animals through Rachael’s Rescue. Since then, she has donated more than $21 million to animal charities.
