Mom’s tuna salad from What’s Annie Cooking.
What’s Annie Cooking is a hobbyist food blog written by Annie Slocum, a home cook in Denver who says she was heavily influenced by time living in San Francisco. She loves to read and collect cookbooks, and the typical recipe is one in which she borrows from a cookbook (with credit) and adds her own variations.
Curried Shortbreads from What’s Annie Cooking.
The recipes are really appealing and match the flavor sensibility of Burnt My Fingers readers (at least this one) quite nicely. We discovered the blog searching for the recipe for Annie Somerville’s corn stock in Fields of Greens (our own copy is in a box somewhere after a move) and found her recipe for the stock on its own, then converted to Green Corn Soup. Next up was her mother’s tuna salad which includes frozen peas, stuffed olives, hard boiled eggs and chopped nuts… a winner. We are also tempted by Curry Shortbreads which are just what it sounds like… a savory treat like classic shortbread but with curry flavors.
Annie is not very prolific: she posted one recipe in July 2023 and one in June after a hiatus since March 2023. But the blog has been going on a long time, back to 2011, so there’s plenty to choose from. Maybe if we try some of these recipes, and comment on them, she will post more often. Check it out!
