LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

Rachael Ray has undergone surgery to correct a problem with her vocal cords, according to People.

A rep for the talk show host and all-around foodie said she had surgery last week.

“After several months of vocal therapy and on the advice of her doctors, Rachael decided to have a benign cyst removed from her vocal cord,” rep Charlie Dougiello told People, which first reported the news.

Dougiello said Rachael is taking it easy following the surgery.

“According to Rachael’s doctors the minor, non-invasive procedure was a success and she is already resting at home,” he added.

The chatty host of the “Rachael Ray Show,” who turns 41 next month, however, now has to keep quiet as she recovers.

“The hardest part for Rachael is going to be giving her voice a rest for the next week or so,” her rep told the mag.

Rachael was going to have the surgery previously, but chose to try vocal therapy first.

The star kept quiet about the benign cyst, instead focusing on others in recent weeks. Just last month, she stepped out for the North Shore Animal League, which honored her for her work raising hundreds of thousands for animals through sales of her dog food, Rachael Ray Nutrish.
