Recipes from the Heart (by Pamela Anderson)
Recipes from the Heart is a book by one of Veganuary’s top-profile supporters. Pamela Anderson is far more than a Baywatch star, she has a heart as big as her boobs! This collection of recipes is based around seasonal produce.
Before cooking, read our post on food safety for people and pets. Just bin allium scraps (onion, garlic, leeks, chives, shallot) as like tomato/citrus/rhubarb, acids could harm compost creatures.
For tinned foods, fully remove lids or pop ring-pulls back over holes before recycling, to avoid wildlife getting trapped.

About Pamela Anderson
Born in Canada (she’s almost 60 but doesn’t look it!), Pamela wrote to the former Canadian Prime Minister to ask him to ban the baby seal cull, which he never did. She’s of German-Finnish ancestry (she used to speak Finnish – one of the world’s most difficult languages) and says she would like to revert to her proper name of Hyytiäinen.
Pamela is also a survivor. She was molested by a female babysitter for years as a child, then raped age 12 by a man, and gang-raped by her boyfriend and six friends when she was 14. She went vegetarian as a teenager, after being upset when her father bought back a bloodied deer he had hunted.
Now back living in Canada (where she publicly endorses the Green Party), Pamela is never shy in standing up to power. She even wrote to President Putin to ask him to save the whales, and met with Kremlin officials to discuss animal welfare in Russia (representing IFAW). And has campaigned to ask French officials to ban foie gras.
Those who dismiss Pamela Anderson as a former swimsuit actress, should compare how much they have done for a kinder world, to her (especially after all she has been through).
