Steven Rinella is an American outdoorsman, writer, and media personality best known as the host of MeatEater, a hunting and outdoor show that airs on Netflix. His books cover hunting, fishing, wild game cooking, wilderness survival, and American history, all tied together by his passion for the outdoors and wild food.
Rinella’s early books, The Scavenger’s Guide to Haute Cuisine (2006) and American Buffalo (2008), established him as a writer who could blend outdoor adventure with cultural history and food writing. His MeatEater-branded titles have become his main output, including The MeatEater Fish and Game Cookbook (2018), The MeatEater Guide to Wilderness Skills and Survival (2020), and his 2025 American history books about mountain men and hide hunters. He has also written books for families, including Outdoor Kids in an Inside World (2022) and Catch a Crayfish, Count the Stars (2023).
