Wilhelm Horst Lichter (born 15 January 1962) is a German cook, television cook, cookbook author, and television presenter. He also occasionally appears on stage as an entertainer.

Life and career

Lichter was born on 15 January 1962 in Rommerskirchen-Nettesheim, North Rhine-Westphalia.

He grew up as the eldest son of the miner Anton Lichter and his wife Margret Lichter, nee Heikamp, in the Rhenish lignite district in Gill, a district of Rommerskirchen. He attended a Hauptschule and did bodybuilding as a teenager. At the age of fourteen he began a three-year apprenticeship as a chef with Lutz Winter in the "Alte Post" hotel and restaurant in Bergheim. He chose the profession of cook because he had very positive associations with eating together at the table. He is well known from the German talk and cook show Lafer! Lichter! Lecker! which he moderated together with Johann Lafer and Bares für Rares.

Lichter is very interested in motorcycles and cars, especially antique cars and modern classic cars.
