In Northern Minnesota, food isn't just about what's on the plate. It's about how we show up for each other and the stories we tell.

Ham Radio: Cooking with Amy Thielen is an hour of authentic conversation, listener call-in and recipes to share. It’s cooking from here, for the people who live here, and for anyone hungry for something real.

Hosted by James Beard Award-winning cookbook author Amy Thielen, with producer Heidi Holtan, this KAXE / KBXE radio show and podcast celebrates the creativity and resourcefulness of rural home cooks. Each episode features a rogue band of culinary visionaries — from northern neighbors and foragers to cookbook authors and food thinkers from across the country.
