Valerie Bertinelli is an American actress who rose to fame from her roles in popular television shows such as One Day at a TimeTouched by an Angel, and Hot in Cleveland. I loved watching Valerie blossom in these entertaining sitcoms and was so excited when she began her career with Food Network in 2015. As someone who is a major foodie in New York City, Valerie's hit show, Valerie's Home Cooking, has inspired me to spice up my own home cooking. I can't wait to watch her next episode this Saturday at 12 PM on Food Network where she introduces some fresh new Spring flavors!
