Stephanie Hansen presents True North Cabin Cookbook Vol. 2 w/ Kurt Johnson

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 the colder months of the year.

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 an invitation to 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 speaks 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.

Stephanie Hansen is the author of True North Cabin Cookbook, the award–winning host of Taste Buds with Stephanie, and the social commentator behind the Weekly Dish radio show and Dishing with Stephanie’s Dish podcast. She lives in Golden Valley, Minnesota.

Having spent the 1980s as a manager of Las Vegas nightclubs, Kurt Johnson knows a thing or two about what happens in Sin City after dark, and his debut novel, Las Vegas Turnaround explores the scene as Johnson knew it back in the day. His writing is characterized by a straight-shooting style that unflinchingly plunges into the seedy side of Vegas.

Kurt Johnson wrote the novel The Barrens based on his daughter Ellie’s epic canoe journey through the Barren Lands of Sub Arctic Canada. The novel is also based on Ellie’s life growing up and coming out as a lesbian. The Barrens is the winner of the 2023 Minnesota Book Award for novel and short story.
