Volume Two: Seasonal Recipes from a Cozy Kitchen
Stephanie Hansen
Minnesota Historical Society Press (September 2025)
Description
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 broadens 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 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.

“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
