This is Jessica,

and she has been blessed with family and recipes. 

​

Through both her paternal and maternal great grandparents, she was given the gift to serve others through food and kindness. She was raised in a family soul food business that began in 1959 on her paternal side, and through that business she was able to share the all-time family recipe from her maternal side--tea cakes. The recipe orginated from her great-grandmother, Amelia James, from Mossville, LA. 

​

By serving the tea cakes in her family's restaurant,

Houston This Is It Soul Food, Jessica has been honored to bring back the nostalgic feeling that many people long for. As a young girl who loved eating them herself, she never imagined that she would turn it into a business where she is able to ship that feeling all cross the country.
