Life & Work with Jasmine Ferrell of District Heights

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jasmine Ferrell

Hi Jasmine, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
I started my brand Jass B Cooking in 2023 out of pure curiosity for the intriguing culinary talent that I have. Cooking has always been a interesting hobby of mine that I started to pursue when I was very young. When all of the other kids would be playing a game or watching the only tv we had in our home growing up , I would always be the one in the kitchen asking questions about the ingredients being put in our meals prepared by my mother or grandmother. Eventually , I grew older and started to have a love for preparing and tweaking recipes myself. Being a chef for my brand is very rewarding to me because I understand the importance of how food not only brings people together but the most important part, how it brings family’s together.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
The only struggles i’ve had as a new chef is being consistent as far as making new content and showing up for my business everyday. Trying to toggle between social media, family , other endeavors and reality can take a toll on any new business owner.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
My business specializes in catering or in other words , preparing large assortments of foods for events and gatherings. We are known for our delicious gouda mac and cheese and my customers favorite , our banana pudding ! It is such a delight to experience. I’m most proud of my ability to get my customers what they need for their events in a professional, timely manner. What sets Jass B Cooking apart from the others ? Living in the DMV metro area , in my opinion, there is a lack of that “southern” touch especially when it comes to the hospitality and food. Being from southern Virginia , I have acquired skills and techniques not familiar to a lot of the customers I serve.

In terms of your work and the industry, what are some of the changes you are expecting to see over the next five to ten years?
Jass B Cooking has plans to expand in the near future and we hope our customers stay tuned to figure out how !
