The Outdoors Chef is an Wild Recipe Cooking Series about how to enjoy wild food in the FIELD, from the KITCHEN, and in the BACKYARD. Exploring a broad range of cooking techniques like sauté, poaching, grilling, braising, roasting, smoking, frying, char-broiling, curing, rotisserie and more. Viewers learn how to prepare wild fish, birds and game in three unique environments, at camp, at home and in the backyard. Watch as white tail deer brisket is braised to tender over an open fire in the wild, tenderloin sliced into medallions and sautéed with wild mushrooms and fiddleheads at the dining table, and a whole leg smoked into venison prosciutto in the backyard.
