From Tech to Table: A Hollywood Icon's Culinary Renaissance
Until recently, I would never have the words “Pamela Anderson” and “a love of cooking” into the same sentencer. But it’s 2024, and the "Baywatch" star is living her best life by following her true passion in the kitchen and honestly, we love to see that level of happiness!
When people find the one thing that makes them happy, magic tends to happen.

Why This Matters
