Pamela Anderson reflects on response to new Vancouver Island-based cooking show: 'It's been a dream come true'
The Canadian actress, 57, teams up with chefs from around the world in "Pamela's Cooking with Love."
Pamela Anderson is showing her fans some appreciation when it comes to her new cooking show. The 57-year-old Canadian actress took to social media with a carousel of photos on Friday, expressing her gratitude over the positive response to Pamela's Cooking with Love.
The Baywatch alum's post featured several candid snapshots of herself in her garden, starting with a black-and-white picture where she beams with a bright smile and poses in front of a tree. In that photo, she's wearing a pair of overalls and gardening gloves while holding a teacup.
"Our little show that's everything I could ask for — my garden, a little farm on Vancouver Island and chefs from all over the world," she captioned her post, alongside a gardener emoji. "I'm so happy that so many of you have loved it — it's been a dream come true. And fun, fun, fun. Thank you!"
In the comments section of the post, fellow celebrities and fans noted they're happy for Anderson's latest achievement. Others shared how much they enjoyed the new series, after a second episode was released on March 2.
"So exciting, so lovely," penned the official Sonsie Skin account, which is the skin care brand Anderson co-founded.
"So happy for you," added The Real Housewives of New York City star Sonja Morgan.
"Absolutely enjoyed every minute of it. ... You are so authentic and true to yourself. Can I be selfish and ask for more TV from you?" one person wrote.
"Thank you so much for creating a vegan cooking show! I'm really enjoying the unique recipes and beautiful landscapes. From another British Columbian," another chimed in.
Anderson's show, which premiered on Feb. 23, shows the Last Showgirl star — along with sons Brandon and Dylan, whom she shares with ex-husband Tommy Lee — meet up with a range of professional chefs. Throughout the series, the "I Love You: Recipes from the Heart" cookbook author conjures up plant-based meals with experts like Toronto-born cook David Zilber, Top Chef finalist Gregory Gourdet and trailblazing chef Nancy Silverton.
However, conversations amongst eagle-eyed fans have been circulating online recently, after people accused Meghan Markle — whose new Netflix cooking series With Love, Meghan premiered on March 4 — of ripping off Anderson. Viewers called out similarities between the two shows, and even compared the similar titles and trailers.
A teaser for Anderson's show was released last October, whilst Markle dropped the first promotional video for her series in January. Co-creator and executive producer of Anderson's show, Jesse Fawcett, released a statement earlier this week, hours before the premiere of With Love, Meghan.
"We take pride in planting the first seeds — creating original, distinctive programming that audiences love — and it's a compliment to see our work with Ms. Anderson resonate so strongly," Fawcett told the Daily Mail.
Anderson's show was announced in February 2023 alongside news of a second season of her lifestyle series, Pamela's Garden of Eden, which centres around the renovation of her family's legacy property on Vancouver Island.
On Friday, Netflix announced Markle's lifestyle show will be getting a second season airing this fall. With Love, Meghan was initially supposed to premiere in January, until the Duchess of Sussex delayed the release amid the wildfires in the Los Angeles area.
