In a recent Instagram share, actress Odette Annable took fans behind the scenes of her home kitchen, declaring she was “Whipping up some Cuban with @shopdoen 🥥 🫑🍋🍓🍊🥑🥬.” The post, set against the backdrop of a sunlit counter strewn with coconut, peppers, lemon, strawberry, orange, avocado and leafy greens, highlights Annable’s playful dive into the flavors of her heritage—this time in partnership with California-born apparel brand Doen.
A Taste Of Cuban In L.a.
Annable, known for roles in Supergirl and House, lined up an array of tropical produce on her marble countertop. She sliced ripe avocado next to bright red peppers, drizzled coconut milk over a citrusy mix of lemon and orange, and prepped kale and strawberries for a colorful salad toss. In her caption, she tagged @shopdoen, signaling a collaboration that marries her love of cooking with Doen’s signature sun-washed textiles and home pieces.
Fans immediately chimed in on the unexpected pairing of actor and fashion label in a cooking scenario. One commenter wrote, “Cuban picnic vibes!” while another praised the “fresh ingredient lineup—so gorgeous.” The playful emojis punctuate Annable’s approach: lighthearted but rooted in real family recipes.
Honoring Her Abuela’s Legacy
The cooking post follows a deeply personal Instagram tribute Annable shared earlier this year. On April 8, she posted a heartfelt remembrance of her grandmother:
“MI ABUELA CHINA 2.22.1929- 4.7.2025 …”
(Translation: “My grandmother China 2.22.1929–4.7.2025…”)
In that longer caption, Annable recounted childhood days on her family’s Southern California farm, “La Finca,” where she and her cousins ran among horses, cows and even baby iguanas. She described her abuela’s homemade plato de harina con picadillo—a staple she now strives to recreate in her own kitchen. By revisiting her grandmother’s memory, Annable underscores the sentimental value behind each chopped pepper or halved avocado.
A Stylish Kitchen Collaboration
Doen, the Los Angeles-based women’s clothing and lifestyle label, is best known for its romantic silhouettes and vintage-inspired prints. This spring, the brand quietly rolled out a limited selection of home linens and kitchen accessories. Annable’s post serves as a soft launch: she stands in a flowing Doen smock, surrounded by plants and pastel dinnerware, turning everyday meal prep into an editorial moment.
According to a spokesperson for Doen, the brand aims to “bring the same sense of ease and nostalgia from our clothing into the home.” Annable’s Cuban demonstration fits the bill—effortless styling meets heartfelt storytelling through food.
Insiders say Annable approached Doen after discovering the kitchen line on a weekend shopping trip. The meeting of actress and designer was organic, rooted in shared Californian sunshine and a mutual love of natural fabrics. “I wanted to wear something that felt as good as it looked while cooking,” Annable told a friend, “and Doen’s prints matched the fruit bowl perfectly.”
Going forward, followers can expect more recipe reveals from Annable—from her abuela’s arroz con pollo to plant-based twists on Cuban classics. She’s already teased a next post: “Cuban cocktails coming soon!”
Fans of both Annable and Doen are watching this new chapter eagerly. By blending personal heritage with a fashion-forward home edit, the actress underscores a broader trend: celebrities turning everyday rituals—cooking, gardening, table setting—into curated lifestyle moments that feel both real and aspirational.
Whether you’re a longtime Odette Annable enthusiast, a Doen devotee or simply someone hunting for fresh weeknight ideas, this collaboration offers a sunny, flavor-packed escape. Annable’s kitchen is now a stage for the tastes and textures she holds dear—and thanks to Doen, it’s all served in style.
