Feeding The Soul With Pamela Morgan

If there’s one thing that this pandemic has taught us, it’s definitely how important it is to cook for friends and family. During this crazy time when so many of us are home together, cooking as a family can help heal us both inside and out.

 

We sat down (or should we say stood up) with professional chef, Pamela Morgan, to chat about her love of cooking, her side gig as a cabaret singer and her favorite Anatomie pieces in our latest IG Live with Co-Founder Kate Boyer. They regaled us with some fun-filled stories and, of course, some amazingly delicious soup!

 

Pamela’s favorite Anatomie pieces? Our Alana Windbreaker in Pink Rose Garden and Flo Tank in Navy! These versatile pieces are perfect for both travel and for cooking or hosting at home, with a comfy feel and a lightweight design that’s super easy to layer (it can get pretty hot in the kitchen). Kate wore our beautiful Marine Wrap Dress in Navy on her end, one of our most comfortable and flattering designs.

 

 

This IG Live was done in support of GivingTuesdayNow and Anatomie’s initiative to give back to the community. For the month of May, Anatomie donated a portion of our proceeds to support Feeding America through the ShoppingGives platform. We are proud to support this amazing cause and are so thankful that so many customers and community members also participated in this initiative.

 

To continue our celebration of food and Feeding America, we would love to share Pamela’s recipe with you to cook at home with your friends and family. And if you’d like to join us in the initiative to give back, please click here to learn more about how you can participate with Anatomie.

 

Happy cooking and enjoy!

PAMELA’S TIPS & TRICKS:

Garnishing a soup (or any dish for that matter!) is a nice way to make it look like a pro cooked it and served it. You can drizzle the cashew cream on top or simply take a sprig of dill and place it on top of the soup. Done – you’ll look like a pro (and feel like one, too)!
