She paired it with patterned pants and gold jewelry.

Her brown hair was styled stick straight and hung around her shoulders.

She appeared to be taking out ingredients to cook with, including truffle mushrooms.

‘It really is a delicious thing, and they’re seasonal. Every single piece of this paper, to me, I would rub all over my. My husband would probably dig it because he digs truffles,” she joked.

Fans were less focused on what Rachael was cooking and more on her appearance.

YOU OK, RACHAEL RAY?

Rachael caused major concern after she posted a video that showed her in the kitchen talking to the camera.

The clip was posted online on September second, and showed her telling a story about the time she “almost killed” Tony Bennett.

She revealed in the clip that she over-polished her floors, which led him to slip and fall in her house.

“When I pull out the chair for Tony to sit down for his starter snacks and apertivo, the chair slid out from under him, and he hit his head on my marble counter behind him, and he fell to the floor,” she said in the video.

“I thought I killed Tony Bennett. I thought I killed him, literally. And his wife, Susan – so glorious – she says to me, ‘Rachael, he’s fine. He’ll pop back up. Just let him be.’ He made it all through dinner. I miss my friend so much. The most beautiful man, maybe ever.”

Several social media users noticed that Rachael appeared to be slurring her speech in the video, which prompted questions about her well-being.

“I think it’s a mini stroke. Part of her mouth seems [to be] sinking. When was this??? I haven’t seen her. This makes me so sad,” wrote one commenter.

“Look at her mouth. It looks like she may be recovering from a stroke,” a second noted.

“One corner of her mouth is much lower than the other. The nurse in me would have her go in to be checked for any side effect from a stroke or Bells Palsy. Please make sure to get checked. Life is just too short,” urged another.

“I love you but are you ok? I’m seriously concerned,” worried a fourth fan.

RACHAEL’S HEALTH HISTORY

Rachael has been public about her health struggles in the past.

Her rep, Charlie Dougiello, told People at the time, “Rachael is the picture of health.

“She is having very minor surgery to remove a benign cyst on her vocal cord,” he continued, adding “It’s a common in-and-out procedure that she will have in early December and it will not adversely affect any of her daytime show or Food Network tapings.

She also previously revealed that she has thyroid issues.

Issues with the thyroid can lead to weight gain and trouble losing weight.

She has not addressed the latest speculation about her health.
