After nearly ten years with the network, Valerie Bertinelli's time on The Food Network has come to an end. The Valerie's Home Cooking star revealed Saturday that her cooking show, which launched in 2015, was canceled.
Food Network has yet to confirm the news, though Valerie revealed she was informed her show was canceled almost a year ago.
She had re-signed her contract with the network less than two years ago in 2021 – she also stars in Kids Baking Championship – which had promised to bring more projects from her to audiences.

Addressing fans while enjoying a cup of coffee, she announced she had good news, the new episodes coming fans' way, and bad news, the cancellation.

The cooking star added: "This is the final season. I have loved making this show. It was such a dream come true. Every single part of it brought me so much joy."

We loved making every single episode for you and I will really, really miss it. Thank you so much for watching!"
Fellow Food Network stars and fans alike immediately flooded her with support over the sad news, with The Pioneer Woman star Ree Drummond commenting: "Love you so much, Valerie!! I will be watching every episode and enjoying every second – and will of course watch you wherever your career and life take you. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself for so many years. I know I don't have to tell you that I’m a Valerie B. fan for life."
