Valerie's Home Cooking

I personally love watching home cooks on TV. They are relatable, and the recipes are very beginner friendly and easy to follow. I love Valerie's energy- she is so fun to watch and my 2 year old even loves watching her with me. I find myself smiling at her quirkiness throughout the episode. I've made plenty of her recipes, as well. I love that she's a home cook, but incorporates some more "gourmet" type dishes into her cooking instead of whipping up a casserole for the 567th time (pioneer woman I am looking at you). The show feels light-hearted, less scripted than most, and I love how Valerie thinks out of the box for her recipes. Family friendly, but not your basic pasta or meatloaf yet again. A+ for me!

In Season 12, Episode 11 (not shown on the episode list on IMDb) she keeps talking about "The Mediterranean" - going to the Mediterranean, eating Mediterranean food, blah blah blah...

But what she means is GREEK, ITALIAN, maybe some FRENCH food.

I live in a Mediterranean country (Israel), but she doesn't seem to know that there are a LOT of counties on the Mediterranean Sea - ALL of North Africa, for instance, as well as Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, Cyprus, Malta, Gibraltar... and all the islands around as well. EACH has it's own distinctive cuisine, but ALL are Mediterranean countries.

I love cooking shows from around the world, but please - let's not pretend that ONLY Greece, Italy and France are on "The Mediterranean!

I love you show Valerie.

I was so sad to hear that they canceled Valerie's cooking show when it's one of the best ones on the air. If they're going to cancel anybody's show, they should cancel Molly Yeh's show!!

I love the way she honors special people in her life by making their recipes and she always goes all out to make everything so special for everyone.

She always has delicious recipes. Most of them are pretty delicious looking!! I have used quite a few of her recipes and events and joyed each one of them so far.

Love your show Valerie it's one of my favorites !!

To bad they can't cut out Tom V. In the old shows....lol And btw....you are beautiful 💛

Her effortless approach is fun to watch. I feel like Valerie and I are old friends cooking together. So happy to see her on Food Network!!

Valerie's recipes are great and she's funny, easygoing and casual so her show is so enjoyable to watch! I wish that we could get more of Valerie on Food Network instead of annoying, grate on your nerves hosts like on Farmhouse Rules.
