Early life and education
In the 1980s, Larrivée enrolled in the Institut de tourisme et d'hôtellerie du Québec (ITHQ), a hospitality institute in Quebec, where he studied hotel management. He studied communications in Ottawa.[2]
Career
Larrivée moved to Regina, Saskatchewan, and accepted a job as a technician at Radio-Canada.[3] He created both simple and elaborate dishes in his spare time and gained a reputation as a good cook. He was hired to present a food show on Radio-Canada. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation was experiencing lay-offs, however, and Larrivée was one of those let go.[2]
Larrivée moved back to Montreal and had the opportunity to share his recipes while working as a food reporter for television, radio and newspapers. At Radio-Canada, he contributed to several television shows, including Menu à 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 wrote a column in the lifestyle section of the daily newspaper La Presse and he continues to be a regular collaborator in the Saturday edition.
In 2002, Larrivée created a new TV show, Ricardo, which is shot in his home kitchen in Chambly, Quebec.[3] He also begun to publish a magazine at the same time.[2] This show became the longest-running cooking show in Canada.[4] In 2006, Ricardo and Friends began to run on Food Network and lasted to three years. His cooking show employs about 125 people[5] and is shown in about 160 countries.[3]
Larrivée and his wife, Brigitte Coutu, operate a company headquartered in Saint-Lambert where recipes are tested and the magazines are created.[3] Over the years, he published many books. Since 2009, he also has his own website.[4]
In 2014, Larrivée was named a Member of the Order of Canada.[6] The same year, Ricardo opened a new headquarters in a Montreal suburb.[7] He has operated a restaurant in the greater Montreal area since 2016, named Café Ricardo, which will later expands to three cafés.[5]
On April 20, 2023, he announced that he was ending full-time hosting after 21 seasons and nearly 3,000 episodes.[8] He continues to make guest appearances on the successor show La Cuisine d'Isabelle et Ricardo, whose primary daily host is Isabelle Deschamps Plante.[9]
