About Jeff Benda

Wild Game & Fish

HI, MY NAME IS JEFF BENDA.

I hunt, I fish, I cook, and then write about it.

On Wild Game & Fish, you’ll find wild game and fish recipes that are healthy, affordable, approachable, and delicious. I share a mixture of comfort foods and everyday family favorites.

I can't wait for you to taste them!

ABOUT WILD GAME & FISH MEDIA

I started Wild Game & Fish Media in 2021, when lots of us became obsessed with cooking at home, then posting the recipes and photos on the internet and social media.

I grew up cooking with my mom in the Midwest, and always had an interest in cooking, so I turned to the restaurant business for my career. After 20 years of experience in the restaurant and catering industry, it was time to find something different that would allow more time with my wife and daughter.

Wild Game Chef Jeff Benda

In 2022, I quit my full-time job to pursue my wild game recipe development and food blog exclusively. Not only did I want to eat healthy wild game and fish recipes that tasted great, I wanted to teach others to do the same.

Today, tens of thousands of people visit this site every month and make my recipes every day. It’s both incredibly humbling and a responsibility that I take very seriously.

ABOUT MY RECIPES

Wild Game & Fish is a trusted resource for home cooks and busy families who are eager to enjoy the wild game and fish they've harvested, but who don’t want to give up their family favorite dishes, or buy pricey ingredients.

  • My recipes are for everyone. Novices, families, kids, and experienced cooks.
  • On my blog, you’ll find hundreds of easy-to-follow, home-cooked recipes that are inspired by seasonal favorites, my wife and 9-year-old daughter's appetites, and the cherished recipes that have been shared with me by family and friends.

I also share helpful kitchen tips, and step-by-step photos that will give you confidence in the kitchen.

My recipes are mostly healthy, use very little processed ingredients (most of which you can find at your local grocery store), and focus on incorporating the wild game and fish so many of us harvest throughout the year.

I’m dedicated to providing you and your loved ones well-tested recipes. Before I post a new recipe, you can feel confident that I have already tested it in my own kitchen, had my wife and daughter approve it, and worked out the mistakes so you don’t have to.

I truly hope Wild Game & Fish will become your go-to for easy-to-make meals that are good for you and that your family will love. I’m so thankful you’re here!
