About Us

Named for our founder, Lesley Elizabeth (a.k.a. Lizzie), it was her love of cooking that created our company's legacy of flavor. Born in Northern England, Lizzie's first memory of food was helping her grandmother shell peas while the family faced food shortages. After the war, the family traveled in the summer to the Mediterranean Coast in the South of France. Even today, Lizzie tells the story, with eyes sparkling, of her childhood summers- air laden with rosemary and lavender and delicious family meals featuring savory pasta and rice.

Her love of nurturing people through healthy and flavorful food led her to developing recipes that were quick and delicious. She founded the company in 1991, to offer her custom blended oils, spices and mixes to people longing for flavor without hours of chopping and prep work in the kitchen. She continues to develop new products, blending ingredients from her original imagination, extensive cooking experience and exotic travel.

Today, the company has over 20,000 square feet of manufacturing space and employs a workforce who faithfully reproduces Lizzie’s original recipes to her exacting quality standards.
