And of course a retired line cook knows how to cook reindeer.
And Whitetail, and Mule deer, etc.
Look up venison recipes.

Reindeer stew:
Thinly sliced reindeer meat, frozen, think sliced jerky in squares.
Mushrooms of choice
Shallots
Olive oil (real olive oil)
Beef stock cube
Small onion
Cream
White wine
Black pepper
Breadcrumbs
Heat up a large pan and add the oil. Dice small the shallots and in they go. Onions in a flat pan on medium heat, rolling, until tender (mushy), do not let them brown, slice thin and in they go.
Add the sliced reindeer meat from starting to thaw, in separate pieces.
Sautee the meat on medium-high heat 2-3 minutes, stir every min or so.
Beef cube into sauce pan add water dissolve and stir.
Back to the large pan:
Increase heat, pour in the beef cube mix, stir, pour in the wine, stir.
Increase the heat and cook a couple min, basically to saturate the meat.
Slice up the mushrooms and add.
Add your other fav seasoning.
Lower heat to simmer, cover and set clock for 15.
Cream into small mixing bowl, ladle out of the big pan three ladles of broth into the cream and stir. Then it all goes back into the big pan and stir.
hint, never add cold cream directly to a cooking broth.
Add breadcrumbs, stir the entire mix
Increase heat to heavy simmer, 8 or 9 min to let excess liquid evaporate.
By now the meat will start be falling apart (think shredded bbq).

Ladle it out into serving bowls and hope Santa does not stop by.

Ms Gina, I expect chicken fried reindeer steaks served golden brown.
