Valerie Bertinelli is scheduled to appear on The Drew Barrymore Show Season 5 at least twice this week. Her appearance will focus on health and lifestyle with a hint of cooking as part of promoting her new book, Indulge.

For those unaware of Bertinelli's body of work, the actor and television personality has been in the limelight since 1974, when she starred in the film Apple's Way. But what really made her a household name was her appearance in the sitcom One Day at a Time(1975–1984), for which she took home two Golden Globe Awards at the time.

She gained further recognition from her roles in shows such as Touched by an Angel (2001–2003) and Hot in Cleveland (2010–2015), the latter of which earned Bertinelli a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination in 2012.

From 2015 onwards, Bertinelli frequently collaborated with Food Network and was featured on multiple cooking shows, including Valerie's Home Cooking, Kids Baking Championship, Family Food Showdown, and Family Restaurant Rivals.

In December 2021, it was reported that Bertinelli had signed a new deal with Food Network, implying that she would be involved in several other projects associated with the channel. However, in January, it was revealed that Bertinelli would no longer be involved in Food Network's Kids Baking Championship.

On April 3, 2024, Bertinelli announced the release of her new book Indulge via Instagram with a video of her enjoying an ice-cream sandwich while "signing books." She wrote in the caption of the post:
