Ricardo Larrivée

Ricardo Larrivée, often simply known as Ricardo, is a trained hotel management graduate, TV host, and food writer. He currently hosts Ricardo on Radio-Canada and Ricardo and Friends which airs on Food Network Canada.

Career

In the 1980s, Ricardo enrolled in Institut de tourisme et d'hotellerie du Quebec (ITHQ), Quebec's top hospitality institute. This is where his passion for all things culinary began. The restaurant life did not satisfy his culinary inventiveness and personality, so he turned to communications, which he studied in Ottawa.

Larrivée then moved to Regina, Saskatchewan when a Radio-Canada job in radio opened up. While creating dishes both simple and elaborate in his spare time, he gained a reputation as a good cook and landed his first food show on Radio-Canada. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation was experiencing lay-offs, however, and Larrivée was one of the laid off employees.

It was from there that he moved back to Montreal and continued to share his enthusiasm and his recipes while working as a food reporter for television, radio, and newspapers. A long-time favorite on Radio-Canada, he left his unique mark on such television shows as Menu a la carte, Pêché mignon, Secrets de famille, Indicatif présent, Christiane Charrette, and Beau temps pour s’étendre, in addition to appearing on Saisons de Clodine on the TVA television network. He also writes a column in the lifestyle section the daily newspaper "La Presse".

During the past twelve years, Larrivée has become a household name in Quebec. In 2002, Larrivée created a new TV show, with an accompanying magazine. The show and magazine are simply titled "Ricardo". Once again Larrivée found success with the third season of "Ricardo". It enjoyed the the highest ratings of all TV morning shows on Radio-Canada. while his magazine is published five times a year in a print run of over 70,000 copies for each issue.
