Cabins provide an ideal getaway from the demands of everyday
life, with adventuresome days of hiking or boating or lounging fueled by
hearty, home-cooked meals. The rhythms of cabin life are familiar to Stephanie
Hansen, who relishes the opportunity to create memorable and delicious meals
for friends and loved ones using simple ingredients from pantry and garden.

From her family cabin on picturesque True North Island near
Ely, Minnesota, Hansen shares favorite recipes for the summer months. In May,
she presents cozy dishes like Beef Bourguignon and Drunken Cowboy Beans
followed by a sweet and tart Rhubarb Skillet Cake, while June might call for
Molasses Pork Chops accompanied by Roasted Carrots with Scallion-Ginger Sauce.
For the lazy summer days of July and August, the classic Fried Walleye with
Lemony Tartar Sauce might hit the spot, and a Grilled Ratatouille with Herb
Vinaigrette takes advantage of fresh seasonal vegetables. As autumn starts to
creep in, Grilled Lamb Burgers with Tzatziki Feta Sauce and Warm Bacon Potato
Salad keep the summer vibe going. Throughout the months, Hansen shares recipes for desserts both simple and adventurous--from a No-Bake Layered Lemon Loaf with Blueberries to Molten Chocolate Cakes--and refreshing cocktails to meet your every mood.

Hansen's creative dishes will nourish and delight those who
gather at your table--at the cabin or at home. True North Cabin Cookbook offers
ample opportunity to savor north woods living at its very best.
