About Us

     Food, like with many families, plays a major role in how the family relates to one another. Whatever the reason for coming together, there is always food at the center of it. While we are cousins, Jess and I agree that we are really sisters. And despite living on different ends of the planet, with Soph in the U.S. and Jess in the U.K., we have done a lot of growing up together. We are best friends!! Bestfriends with the shared obsession of food, all things food. “One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well”, said Virginia Woolf. And we couldn’t agree more!

While we have grown up together and tackled many meals together, we have our differences. Which brings us to our why. So, why did we create It’s All Jus? 2020 was a rough year for the world. Our family suffered from some major losses, and the pandemic meant we all had to remain apart. Borders were shut, and the world went silent. We were determined to keep each other's spirits up, and to maintain some silliness through it all. Naturally, “food” popped into our heads. We have always wanted to work together exploring the subject of food, all food. The challenge of U.S. vs. U.K. cook-off was born. It’s always been pretty fascinating to us that both countries share so many similarities, and yet we often cook completely different meals for the same event. Garden parties, in the U.K., often have an assortment of sausages, light salads, tea, fish and victoria sponge. In the U.S. brisket, hamburgers, corn on the cob and thick potato salad are the staples. At an English Christmas dinner, you will find an endless supply of yorkshire puddings, a goose, and gorgeous roasted potatoes. In America, many tables will have a ham, green bean casserole and mashed potatoes. With our dream clear as ever - let’s explore food (and eat it!) together - Its All Jus was established, and our first U.S. vs. U.K. challenge was declared!

In addition to covering the history of food, reviewing the many eateries around the world, sharing our favorite recipes and just embracing the foodie within, every week we will compete in the U.S. vs. U.K challenge (a.k.a Across the Pond Challenge). Each week a topic is chosen (ex. mac n’ cheese, pie, yellow, etc.), and on the following wednesday we share with everyone what we each made. Neither one of us knows what the other is cooking up until post time! You will always be the one who declares the winner in the weekly polls. For now, we have chosen the topics ourselves. With the launch of our website and official start of It’s All Jus, we would really love to include you in the fun!! We want to know what you would like to see us tackle. So, what do you think we should be making, or baking next? To us, the topic of all things food has inspired us to explore, love and create. Our hope is that we create a new way for fellow foodies to play with their food. To participate in the fun, follow us on instagram @its.all.jus!! We look forward to meeting you there!
