DEBORAH HUNTER Cooking with Honey By Dr. Brenda Wilder Deborah Hunter is the founder of Cooking With Honey and Friends and is affectionately known as the Cookie Lady. Her cookbook is titled My Delicious Mississippi Life. Hunter grew in West Jackson, the oldest of four children and the only girl in a household of three boys. She joked that she would trade all three brothers for one bicycle. Hunter lives by the philosophy of getting as much education as possible but also exploring the curious mind and discovering/exploring new opportunities. She is a self-taught entrepreneur and believes art is food, science, and technology. All these belong to God, and one can constantly be learning every day. Everywhere she goes, Hunter likes to bring a sample of her cooking. In 2011, Hunter bought a home with a chef kitchen. She raised her hands, closed her eyes, asked the Holy Spirit to give her the gift of cooking. She felt a sweet affirming spirit sweep across her and knew it was God. The next morning she began cooking, knowing the Biblical principle of Faith Without Action. Later she was invited by Randy Tin with Comcast to present a cooking show, which continued for two years.
