Meghan Markle’s Cooking Show Flops While Pamela Anderson Serves Up a Hit
Meghan Markle just *had* to try her hand at a cooking show, didn’t she? And—no surprises here—it turned into a complete disaster. Meanwhile, Pamela Anderson is proving you don’t need royal titles, over-the-top branding, or edible flower sprinkles to win over an audience. All you really need is authenticity, charm, and, well, some actual cooking skills—or at the very least, the ability to admit when you don’t have them.
Pamela Anderson’s cooking show is everything Meghan’s isn’t—engaging, visually stunning, and, most importantly, actually informative. From the moment the show begins, Pamela’s genuine curiosity shines through. She doesn’t strut around the kitchen pretending to be the next Julia Child. Instead, she embraces her limitations. Take her galette-making moment, for example. She openly admits she’s never been able to perfect it. So, what does the chef do? Shows her a simple trick—freezing vegan butter. It’s practical, useful, and, above all, *real.*
Now, let’s compare that to Meghan. Can you imagine her ever admitting to a failure? That’s about as likely as her acknowledging that her first Netflix venture was a complete flop (which, let’s be honest, it was). If something went wrong in *her* kitchen, she’d probably spin it into some overly sentimental speech about how “it’s not about perfection—it’s about joy.”
Pamela’s show is a feast for the eyes—her kitchen is gorgeous, the setting is vibrant, and the atmosphere is fun. Even Pamela herself keeps it effortlessly cool, dressed casually in jeans and a t-shirt, makeup-free yet still stunning. Meanwhile, over in Meghan’s world, one has to wonder if the crew had to discreetly dispose of her dishes to avoid a raw veggie-induced health hazard. Given her questionable kitchen hygiene and complete lack of culinary expertise, I wouldn’t touch anything coming out of her kitchen.
And speaking of hygiene—Pamela and her chef make a point of washing their hands before cooking. A small but crucial detail, right? You’d think Meghan, who’s working with raw foods, would take note. But, alas, cleanliness and authenticity don’t seem to be her strong suits.
One of the biggest reasons Pamela’s show works so well is because she’s naturally inquisitive. She genuinely *wants* to learn, asks thoughtful questions, listens, and actually follows instructions. She’s funny, self-aware, and isn’t afraid to admit when she makes a mistake. That’s what makes her show enjoyable—she’s *relatable.*
Meghan, on the other hand, is about as down-to-earth as a gold-plated spatula. Her cooking show doesn’t seem to be about food—it’s about *her.* Instead of focusing on the craft, she makes the experience all about herself. As *The Toronto Sun* put it, calling Meghan’s new Netflix series a copy of Pamela Anderson’s almost seems like an insult to Pam. *Ouch.* But also? *Spot on.*
Pamela Anderson’s cooking show is a 10/10—entertaining, beautiful, and surprisingly educational. Meghan Markle’s? Let’s just say, I wouldn’t recommend watching it before dinner… unless you enjoy a side of frustration with your meal.
And if you’re wondering whether this criticism is unfair? Even *The Toronto Star*—a publication once sympathetic to Meghan—seems to have had enough of her antics. When you’ve lost *The Star*, it’s pretty much game over.
So, if you’re looking for a cooking show actually worth watching, go with Pamela’s. Even if you’re not vegan, you might just pick up a few helpful tips. And if nothing else, you’ll be spared the cringe-fest of self-important monologues about “joy.”
