About

At Lesley Elizabeth, we believe great flavor should never be complicated. What started as one woman’s passion for cooking has grown into a beloved line of infused cooking oils, gourmet spice blends, seasoned salts, flavored sugars, and more—each crafted to bring ease and inspiration to your kitchen.

A Legacy of Flavor

Our story begins with Lesley Elizabeth—known to friends and family as Lizzie. Born in Northern England, Lizzie's earliest food memory was helping her grandmother shell peas during wartime shortages. Summers spent along the Mediterranean Coast in the South of France awakened her senses to rosemary, lavender, and the rich, rustic meals that defined her childhood. These early experiences sparked a lifelong love of cooking and a deep appreciation for flavorful, nourishing food.

In 1991, Lizzie turned her passion into a purpose. She founded Lesley Elizabeth, Inc. to share her custom-blended oils and seasonings with home cooks looking for flavor without the fuss. Her goal was simple: make delicious, healthy meals easier to prepare—no endless chopping or complicated steps required.

Even in retirement, Lizzie still contributes her expertise, drawing on decades of cooking experience and global travel to inspire new recipes and blends.

A New Chapter with Hongar Farms

After over three decades of delighting customers, Lesley Elizabeth, Inc. closed its doors in December of 2024. But the story didn’t end there. In April 2025, the brand was officially relaunched by Hongar Farms, bringing new life to the beloved products while honoring their original flavor and spirit.

Now proudly based in Tucker, Georgia, operations have resumed with the same dedication to quality, flavor, and customer care that made Lesley Elizabeth a household name. The legacy continues—rooted in tradition, reimagined for today.
