This is a major find, and a great show! My wife and I, I don't want to mention our ages, but let's just say we grew up watching Valerie on television in the 1970's. And we are both glued to the set for each of her shows.
We have always admired her and were both intrigued by her return to TV as a foodie.. Guess what? She's fantastic! It seems like once she got warmed up (back in front of the camera), her natural charm and wit seemed to erupt. This show has evolved for me to be "can't miss television." I will yell down the hall, "Honey, is Valerie on yet.." She's like, "Yes dear, your girlfriend is coming on.."
