Sheila Spector, home baker and food blogger, Dinner at Sheila’s, SLO

Sheila Spector has lived and cooked all over the U.S., both in her own kitchen, in commercial kitchens, culinary shops, synagogues, and community centers. A dyed-in-the-wool cook, Sheila once sold her rugula to Dean & Deluca in Georgetown, Washington, D.C. and continues to sell it each year at San Luis Obispo’s Apples & Honey Festival, hosted by the Jewish Community Center Federation. Sheila and I talked about baking cakes without yeast or flour during Passover, her mother’s legacy, and about her blog, dinneratsheilas.com, which she started on a whim.
