Rails - Jun 2005 - Class Date

Hi, I''m trying to assign a date to a variable in a method from a
controller:

def create
    @recipe.date = Date.today
end

All I get is a null date.
I''m seraching Date clas at Ruby reference but I haven''t found
anything but Time.

Is Date class working on ruby-1.8.2-7 or is it obsolete?

Yes, it works!, but why doesn''t work Date class?
