Tyler, TX – Dona Halbert’s grandmother taught her to cook when she was 6.
Her first project – a glazed cake – was not a success.
“I can still remember my dad taking a bite, grabbing his glass of iced tea to wash it down and laughing,” she said. “I had overloaded salt apparently, but it did look pretty.”
Mrs. Halbert, 54, of Tyler, still enjoys cooking but doesn’t consider herself a gourmet-style cook.
“I tend to cook more foods that would be comfort food or homestyle,” she said, adding that her husband is a picky eater. “I almost always bake some type of sweets on a weekly basis. … I believe anyone can cook or bake, and it is simply a matter of learning what you have a natural touch for as well as what you enjoy.”
fter years of working in the medical field and being a stay-at-home mom, Mrs. Halbert opened Kitchen Drawer in Tyler more than five years ago.
