Michael RickickiMichael Rickicki is a Catholic by Irish-Italian heritage, cook by trade, and outdoorsman by grace. He lives in Upstate New York. Born and raised in the foothills of New York's Southern Tier along the Genessee River, Michael has spent most of his time in the outdoors hunting, fishing, and cooking. He aims to share his love for creation with others through food and writing.

Irenaeus, he began to practice a more monastic approach to life, which is clearly expressed through his writing and work as a chef. Read More Read Less
