Anderson’s was filmed at her home on Vancouver Island while Meghan used a rented farmhouse close to her Montecito mansion<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The actress was asked about the \ufeffclaims during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live by host Andy Cohen.<\/p>\n

“On a scale from one to 10, how much of a rip-off did you feel like With Love, Meghan was of your show, Pamela’s Cooking with Love?” he asked.<\/p>\n

Anderson said: “One. I didn’t… I didn’t really look, but I mean, I didn’t invent cooking shows”.<\/p>\n

“So, I mean\u2026 she’s just doing her thing.”<\/p>\n

In both shows, Anderson and Meghan were joined by guest chefs and friends as they showcased their cooking skills and offered lifestyle advice.<\/p>\n
