On this week’s episode, host Jaymee Sire talks with Valerie Bertinelli, television legend and host of Kids Baking Championship. Learn how Valerie got her start on the network, what the heck an “ITK” is and the story behind Valerie’s Home Cooking. Valerie describes what it’s like working with kids and not having the heart to eliminate any contestants, and we hear about her true loves - her son Wolfie and her many cats - and how many kings are in her family tree. Finally, she discusses making peace with food and herself.
