Pam Anderson

“Like a chef, Pam Anderson believes that once you really learn techniques, you’ll be able to use them on whatever is best in the market or—for busy home cooks—in the pantry and fridge," says Food & Wine. She’s proved this time and time again in her cookbooks filled with everyday, no-fuss favorites, including The Perfect Recipe, which won a Julia Child Award, CookSmart, and Perfect Recipes for Having People Over, then went a step further and showed us how healthy cooking can taste great too with The Perfect Recipe for Losing Weight & Eating Great. She’s also the monthly food columnist for Better Homes and Gardens.
