Biographie

Babsie Steger was born in Waidhofen an der Ybbs in Lower Austria. She left her native Austria at age 18 after studying classical dance at the Vienna State Opera, where she worked with Rudolf Nureyev, Mikhail Baryshnikov in the ballets of Maurice Béjart. She arrived in France studying at the École de Danse Princesse Grace in Monaco with prestigious teachers like Mariska Besobrasova. She then came to Paris learning French and Italian while working as a dancer and model. She appeared in fashion shows and advertisements, and took theater classes with John Strasberg at the Actors Studio.

Her first job was a classical dancer and permitted her to know well the human body and the correct way to feed herself. She has always been interested on dietetic and the welfare, and thus for over 20 years. She founded in 2003 a restaurant in Paris, where she tested for the first time her Austrian pastry recipes, which later appeared in 2011 in her book Strudel, Kouglof et Cie.
