A Baking Journey's Sylvie Gruber shares her speculoos cheescake recipe
Sylvie Gruber was born in Brussels, Belgium, to a French mother and Belgian father – so enjoying food was a big part of family life. This was mostly thanks to her French grandmother Frida, who moved to Brussels with Sylvie’s grandfather Maurice to be close to the family. She'd prepare the food they had for lunch, family holidays and big celebrations. On Wednesday afternoons when Gruber didn’t have full days at school, her grandfather would pick her up. He'd always have two sandwiches, prepared by grandma Frida, for Gruber to snack on during the ride home – one cheese and one Nutella.
