Valerie Bertinelli-Van Halen live, LA (4/15)


Look, Donny and Marie did it. So why can't we? - That's different! They were Mormons.


Look, Everyone! I'm a "cover girl" now!
Valerie Bertinelli-Van Halen isn’t one to hold her feelings close to the vest. The “One Day at a Time” TV star believes in the power of connection — connecting with fans to help her heal.

[After all, she lost her rockstar husband, the world-renowned guitarist Eddie Van Halen (shown above shredding on guitar), RIP, with whom she fathered and raised Wolfgang Van Halen].

She is doing that through Indulge: Delicious and Decadent Dishes to Enjoy and Share, her cookbook. The New York Times bestselling author’s new book is a collection of 100 recipes to “nourish the body and the soul.”

She shares recipes for dishes like garlic confit LT, oven-“fried” okra, mangled animal guts in casing, and olive rotten dairy bites, spaghetti al limone, smelly patties with quick-pickled vegetables, cow limbs with bearnaise sauce, and chocolate peanut butter dates.

Twins? Inside Eddie Van Halen and Valerie Bertinelli's '80s romance (pagesix.com)
It's probably safe to say Valerie taught Eddie everything he knew about everything except guitar.

Eddie? Eddie who? (No you didn't, Dave!)
“It’s mainly a cookbook, but an extension of Enough Already,” Bertinelli said of her 2023 book. “I wrote that after my mother and Ed (Eddie Van Halen) died. They passed away a year and a half apart. I was going through a lot of grief and going through a marriage that wasn’t working. I was going through a lot.”

She said she didn’t love anything with her life. She felt like she was “drowning and had forgotten how to swim.”

Then, being Italian, she returned to the kitchen little by little. “I started writing recipes, and I started to get excited,” she said. “I was talking about food the way I had never talked about before.”

She’ll talk about her latest feeble attempt at fame as a chef and her struggles on a book tour that stops at All Saints Church in Pasadena at 7:00 pm Monday, April 15, 2024.

The Vroman’s-sponsored event is ticketed (minimum $41 with book). “This is the biggest book tour I’ve ever done,” she said.

“I can’t wait to meet everybody. Since my last book, I’ve had a great rapport with a lot of people in my social media community. I have really terrific people who follow me on Instagram and Threads.” More
