True North Cabin Cookbook: Recipes and Stories from a North Woods Table

"In Minnesota and beyond, summer is prime cabin season. The rhythms of cabin life are very familiar to food enthusiast and genial host Stephanie Hansen, who relishes the opportunity to dazzle with simple ingredients from pantry and garden, creating memorable and delicious meals for friends and loved ones. Her family cabin sits far to the north on picturesque Burntside Lake in Ely, Minnesota-a boat ride away from the nearest grocery story and a world apart from the demands of everyday life. From her perch on True North Island, Hansen tells warm and witty stories and shares favorite recipes for the summer months. Cozy dishes like Beef Bourguignon and Rhubarb Skillet Cake are fitting for May and September, while grilled vegetables, corn fritters, and fresh fruit desserts match the relaxed pace of July and August, when lazy summer days unfurl in endless waves. Hansen's straightforward, creative, tasty dishes will nourish those who gather at your table-whether at the cabin or at home. True North Cabin Cookbook offers ample opportunity to savor north woods living at its very best"--
