To succeed in the long term, any business needs to refresh itself continually with new talent and new ideas. The Food Network is no exception. Unfortunately, bringing in new talent means that some familiar favorites end up getting squeezed out or simply move on to other ventures. Of course, the shoe is often on the other foot as well. Some chefs and hosts might move on for reasons of their own.

The show will feature 12 teams of siblings aged from 8 to 14 competing in a series of challenges to win $25,000, as well as the title of Baking Champions.

Anne Burrell, a significant figure in the culinary world, was found unresponsive in her Brooklyn home and later pronounced dead; she was 55 years old.

I don't know her. I meet a lot of people. But I am the last photo on her Instagram.

Burrell's advice for cooking often boiled down to not overlooking the basics, especially for home cooks and chefs that are just starting out.
