His impact on eating wild has been as incredible as the food he creates.

The WildCheff Concept is rooted in origins from a simpler time when the “farm and field to table” concept applied to every household in America. WildCheff’s owner, Chef Denny Corriveau, grew up hunting in the New England woods and fishing along the mountain streams with his family. He learned from an early age proper game handling and preparation techniques. After decades of creating culinary masterpieces for family and friends he was inspired to share his expertise with a larger audience. In 1995 he launched WildCheff Enterprises to critical acclaim.

Chef Corriveau has combined his French and Native Metis heritage of distinctive generational recipes for a variety of wild game and sustainable meats, integrated with his extensive culinary education and expertise to develop a style of game preparation that is truly one-of-a-kind. His unique style combined with his proven methodologies form the pillars of WildCheff Enterprises.

The WildCheff Concept for sustainable eating is about combining culinary education with delicious recipes and an all natural, preservative free product line of seasonings that will not only enable but inspire any individual (from inexperienced to professional chefs) to prepare wild game, free-range and organic ingredients more deliciously and more frequently.

Chef Corriveau’s cooking approach is simple.

Combine wild, free-range meats and fish, grass-fed proteins, or veggies and foraged ingredients with WildCheff’s unique, all-natural blend of spices, specially crafted brines, naturally flavored olive oils, balsamic vinegars, artisan sugars, and sea salts, each of which has been custom designed for a specific purpose to enhance the unique flavor whatever you desire to eat. Add to it the hundreds of recipes available through WildCheff, you’ll be hard-pressed to eat the same meal twice anytime soon except for the many favorites you’ll want to repeat again and again.
