What is Sébastien's background as Best Pastry Chef?

Originally from Burgundy, Sébastien now lives in Toulouse. At 47, he is the boss of a cybersecurity start-up in the Pink City. He simply explains what his job consists of: “I make sure that companies are not ransomed by hackers”. An increasingly widespread blackmail that he does everything to prevent. This father hen of two daughters loves spending time with his children, having fun and baking for them. It's been 5 years since he got into it and his passion has led him to become the Best Pastry Chef. Not bad… Which defines Sébastien well: an epicurean who loves to cook… And eat! His vision of a good evening? Gourmet and with a good bottle! Because it is not just the cakes that make him capsize, he is also a great wine lover, and a fine connoisseur. The love of his daughters, his ingenuity and his pugnacity make him a tenacious candidate for this 11th season.

His world of pastry

Sébastien likes simple creations as much as more complex creations. He can therefore also prepare a panna cotta with mango than a good banoffee with caramelized hazelnuts and chocolate crumble or a Saint-Honoré Fleur inspired by Cédric Grolet. One of the best pastry chefs in the world prepares this specialty with crispy filo pastry, caramel cabbage, custard vanilla and vanilla whipped cream. A challenge that didn't scare Sébastien... He also tapped into the world of Amaury Guichon by cooking a delicious coconut. He made a very beautiful chocolate dessert with crunchiness and crunch or even a beautiful Christmas cake in the shape of Santa's coat. Audacity with pleasure always in sight!
