Los Angeles (E! Online) - The Food Network has added more Rachael Ray to its menu.
The perky host, known for peppering her speech with phrases such as Yum-o! and Delish!, has reupped her contract with the network for another two years.
Under her new deal, Ray will host a prime-time series dubbed Rachaels Vacation, which will follow her travels around the globe, as she samples local cuisines and explores different lifestyles.
She will also continue to preside over 30 Minute Meals, but will film only 60 episodes a year, down from 80.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Rachael is the quintessential example of the homegrown stars we create at Food Network, Food Network President Brooke Johnson said in a statement. She has been with us since 2001, and we have built a strong partnership that will continue for years to come and bring more new and exciting projects.
Rays ongoing relationship with Food Network has positioned her as the channels biggest star--particularly after the network recently canceled Emeril Lagasses Emeril Live after 10 years on the air. (The Essence of Emeril remains in production.)
In addition to her Food Network shows, Ray, 39, hosts an eponymous syndicated daily talk show, which was renewed through 2010 earlier this year.
She also serves as a Dunkin Donuts and Nabisco pitchwoman and publishes the lifestyle magazine Every Day with Rachael Ray.
