Pamela Anderson hosts Pamela’s Cooking with Love, a plant-based cooking show

Pamela Anderson will host her own cooking show, which will focus on plant-based recipes.

Pamela’s Cooking With Love was commissioned by Food Network Canada, in which the Canadian-American actress will prepare on-screen meals with chefs for her family and friends at her home in Ladysmith on Vancouver Island, where she grew up.

Anderson’s latest venture comes amid a wider reckoning over the media’s treatment of her at the height of her fame in the 1990s, when she posed for Playboy magazine and starred in Baywatch. This was also the time footage of her having sex with then-husband Tommy Lee was stolen and published online without her consent. When this was dramatized on the Hulu show Pam and Tommy without her consent, Anderson publicly vowed to “tell the real story.”

The 55-year-old has just released her memoir – Love, Pamela – and is starring in a Netflix documentary about her life, Pamela, A Love Story.

A vegetarian since childhood and a vegan for more than three decades, Anderson has long been known for her animal rights activism, including posing for animal rights group Peta, protesting foie gras in France and even writing to Vladimir Putin in 2015 to block a ship carrying it Whale meat transported from Iceland to Japan.

Speaking to the Guardian, Anderson said the process of writing her memoir got her thinking: “Holy cow. How did I survive all this? How did I make these decisions? But I also have empathy for myself. I see that I just didn’t have the tools… now with the documentary and the book, people will see the whole character. And then – maybe – I can become human again.”

Anderson also currently hosts a home renovation show, Pamela’s Garden of Eden, in which she renovates her family’s ancestral home, which has been renewed for a second season.
