True North Cabin Cookbook Volume Two - by Stephanie Hansen (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

Join bestselling cookbook author and media personality Stephanie Hansen at her midwestern table to celebrate life in the northland with charming tales and delicious dishes for fall, winter, and spring.

Stephanie Hansen's first book, True North Cabin Cookbook: Recipes and Stories from a North Woods Table, transported readers to her family outpost on True North Island on Burntside Lake near Ely, Minnesota, to savor meals for the cabin months of May through September. Now, Volume Two extends the invitation to include Hansen's Twin Cities home as well as her Ely lodging during the balance of the year, commemorating "the cozy months" of October through April with friends and family and--of course--excellent food.

Month by month, each section opens with a personal narrative that speak to the highlights of the season, whether reflecting on
traditional holidays or the quiet wonders of the winter landscape. With her trademark humor, Hansen opens her heart and her kitchen to readers and home cooks who may appreciate a tasty Pomegranate Old-Fashioned paired with a Baked Party Brie and who embrace the opportunity to gather with loved ones to enjoy comfort food at its finest.

From soups to salads to entrées to desserts--featuring dishes like Beer Cheese Wild Rice Soup, Braised Red Cabbage with Apples, Juicy Lucy Cheeseburger Tater Tot Hot Dish, and Banana Bread Cookies with Cream Cheese Frosting--accompanied by tender remembrances and insightful tips, this cookbook continues the tradition of Hansen hospitality in the true north.

Review Quotes

"The book is marked by personalized elements, too, as with Hansen noting that her efforts to gussy up the traditional Thanksgiving meal clashed with her family's requirements for store-bought stuffing mix, canned cranberry sauce, and frozen peas. Indeed, humorous stories and poignant accounts abound, as with a story about surviving breast cancer and memories of lost loved ones. . . . Seasonal Recipes from a Cozy Kitchen is a fun cookbook that oozes Minnesota charm." --Rachel Jagareski, Foreword Reviews

"We always say: Stephanie's a total firecracker! From the moment you meet her, you feel that spark, that warmth, that joy. And this book? It's so her. Think comforting Midwest classics, stories that make you smile, and flavors that bring people together. It's like sitting around the table with an old friend--full of heart, full of flavor, and with just the right amount of sass." --Alia Elkaffas and Radwa Elkaffas, creators of Food Dolls and New York Times-bestselling authors of Pretty Delicious

"True North Cabin Cookbook is my idea of a very good time. From Hot Pickle Dip to Juicy Lucy Cheeseburger Tater Tot Hot Dish to Baked Ziti with Meatballs to Beer Cheese Wild Rice Soup, I want to cook (and eat!) everything . . . preferably while sipping on a Cranberry Old-Fashioned, with Stephanie by my side, regaling me with stories." --Jessie Sheehan, author of Snackable Bakes and The Vintage Baker

"Stephanie perfectly curated all of these recipes, on every page, all I see is cozy and homey! I think this is a great book for relatable but interesting weeknight dinner inspiration with a bunch of unique flavors in foods that you and your loved ones already love!" --Hayden Haas, author of Simply Delishaas
