    Liz is Chilli Lizzi’s woman behind the relish that saved us all from 2020! After a colourful career as the owner of one of Cape Town’s biggest event and hiring companies, Liz decided to pursue her true passion for food. Having worked with some of South Africa’s top chefs, she was inspired to create a brand that reflected her love for food, fun, family and friends. This love for food was clear to see in her home – Liz’s domestic worker, Siphokazi, entered Masterchef in 2014 and finished second! Chilli Lizzi all started as a lockdown experiment in Liz’s kitchen – using only the finest and freshest ingredients of course – and after just one taste, she knew she had created the ultimate Chilli Relish. Friends and family simply couldn’t get enough of this homemade delight and it was written in the stars – Chilli Lizzi had to be shared! Liz dreams of the day that every South African restaurant and home has their own glass bottle of Chilli Lizzi – her labour of love.
