In the reel, Valerie revealed that Food Network canceled the show last summer, and she has "no idea why." She explained that she didn't say anything at the time because she was hoping that the network would change its mind. Valerie went on to say, "I have loved making this show. It was such a dream-come-true." She gushed, "Every single part of it brought me so much joy. I loved the crew. I loved everybody in production. They loved making this show for you." Valerie concluded her video by saying, "I hope that you enjoy this final season because [we] made every single episode with love for all of you."

Valerie began her career as an actress, starring as Barbara Cooper on One Day at a Time from 1975-1984. She also appeared on Touched by an Angel, Hot in Cleveland, and many other roles. In recent years, she has become a Food Network staple, hosting Valerie's Home Cooking and Valerie's Hot Dish. She also serves as the host and judge of Kids Baking Championship along with Duff Goldman. She has appeared as a host and judge on several other shows as well. Valerie is also a cookbook author, including the book Valerie's Home Cooking, which has over 100 recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, small bites, desserts, and cocktails.

Food Network's decision to cancel Valerie's Home Cooking is surprising. Valerie is not only a knowledgeable cook with a vast array of delicious recipes, but she is a gracious host who welcomes her guests and viewers into her kitchen and treats them like family. Her show is heartwarming as she shares stories about her family, including her cherished son, along with her beloved late mother's recipes. With her sweet personality and easy-to-follow instructions and tips, Valerie is a relatable cook who makes cooking accessible to everyone. Valerie's Home Cooking will definitely be missed.
