featured chef - Timothy Horst
Founder and chef at pastrypros.com ,Timothy Horst, can be found cooking up desserts in his home lab in wilton, nh. It’s here that he’s ended up after a career in the restaurant industry spanning 16 years. Now as the main contributor to pastrypros.com, and a consulting pastry chef, Tim finds his life very balanced. ” I came to new england to find a nice, hometown place to raise my son and love life with my wife Danielle”.
When asked about his philosophy in making desserts, he replies “Elements of contrast. In my eyes, the interaction of different component temeratures, textures and flavors is paramount over anything else. Contrary to some the last thing on my mind is how it looks on a plate. Sure it’s got to be visually appealing, but that’s the last step”.
Has he any unfulfilled dreams and aspirations? “Mostly, to be a wonderful role model for my son and the best husband I can be. I’ve accomplished everything my pastry career I’ve wanted, and gotten more recognition than I expected. I’ve been fortunate enough to have worked with some of the best culinary minds in america”.
