Krista
Born and educated in Berlin, Germany as Christa Doberschuetz, she obtained an early interest in the food industry by environmental exposure to her parents occupation. Her early life was filled with daily uncertainties in her home life as well as prevalent war conditions. Conversations of historic events overheard as a child made sense in her home later life. She completed her formal training after the war ended and was awarded her Journeymanship papers from the department of labor in Berlin, Germany. She met and married R.N. Flores, of the U.S. Army, while stationed in Germany in 1953 and followed her husband to Edinburg, Texas. While raising five children there, Chef Krista continued her studies and also actively participated in several community organizations. In 1963, she ventured into her own catering and baking business and in 1969 added a research and test kitchen where she conducted gourmet classes for adults. Krista also lectured at the Pan American University of Edinburg during five summer sessions. From 1973 to1978, she owned and operated, Kristas German Restaurant and Pastry Shop, then went on as a Pastry Chef for a country club in McAllen, Texas until 1980. Becoming a widow at that time, she sought solace in managing a bistro in McAllen until 1983. Moving to Houston for a year as a personal chef, she was drawn back to McAllen to accept a position as Chef-Manager in a rustic restaurant and bar. Then as a self employed Pastry Chef at Large, she contracted out her services to many hotels and fine restaurants for special event cakes and pastries and accepted seasonal assignments. She also taught night classes at a vocational institute in Harlingen, Texas. In 1990, she remarried to a Mr. E.G. Holmes. During that same year she was struck with an ocular disease which left her legally blind. She learned to make use of modern technology and after an adjustment period, accepted a contract as Special Events Coordinator at the Community Hotel and Conference Center in her town. After two years, Krista also added a summer position as the Executive Chef at a prominent golf resort lodge in Wisconsin to which she returned for five seasons. She then settled fulltime into her position at the local Community Hotel and Conference Center where she remained for the next thirteen years. Finding herself widowed again, she decided to record the highlights of her busy life and devote more of her time to leisure and to family. She still enjoys directing an occasional special event and is frequently asked to consult and help plan events. She is still involved in local and state and conferences of her profession. She has been a member of different civic organizations as well as the Pan American Round Table, the Texas P.T.A., the Hidalgo Historical Museum Guild, the Alliance Francaise and the Retail Bakers Association. She is an honorary, retired member of the Texas Chefs Association (TCA) and the American Culinary Federation (ACF) which includes the Les Amies de Escoffier Society. She is also an accredited retired certified executive pastry chef (CEPC).
