Here is who cooks your meal prep, and what she has behind her:
Elizabeth has over 20 years of cooking experience. Nigerian and West African food has been the focus that whole time.
Not a home setup. Elizabeth works out of a commercial kitchen and runs meal prep, catering, delivery, pickup and online orders from it.
Nigerian jollof rice is what people come looking for. Her seafood dishes, seafood okra especially, are her strongest sellers and the reason customers reorder.
Elizabeth expected to cook mainly for the African community here. In practice, a large share of her repeat customers are Canadian, Indian and Asian.
Offered the option of a generic healthy meal prep line, she kept West African cuisine as the core of the business instead.
Nigerian food lives or dies on the base: the pepper mix, the crayfish, the palm oil and the time you give it. Elizabeth builds hers from scratch, which is why her jollof tastes like jollof and her okra tastes like okra, even after reheating.
Lizziano Kitchen exists because Elizabeth wanted Vancouver to get the real thing as ready-made meals, cooked by hand and seasoned properly, the same way she cooks for her own family in Nigeria.
No shortcuts and no fillers. The pepper base is blended fresh, the stews are cooked down properly, and every meal is made from scratch using traditional Nigerian technique.
Every meal prep container is a full 28 oz: a proper serving of jollof or white rice, a real portion of protein, and enough stew to cover it. Nobody is going back to the pot after this.
It is really easy. Four steps and your week of meals is sorted.

This is exactly the kind of meal-prep setup that makes busy weeks easier. The portions look practical, the containers are packed neatly, and there’s enough variety to keep several meals interesting. Having everything portioned and ready to go is a big plus.
The rice looks really flavorful and well seasoned, and the grilled meat has a nice browned finish. The vegetables and corn make the whole plate feel complete rather than just being a heavy rice-and-meat meal. This is the kind of hearty comfort-food combination that looks especially satisfying.
The egusi looks rich and hearty, and the fufu pairs really well with it. Great-looking comfort food.
I really like the variety shown here. There’s a good mix of rice, vegetables, pasta and protein, so the meals don’t feel repetitive. Everything looks fresh and filling.
Great selection of Nigerian dishes and taste good! But some portions were smaller.
Tastes very authentic.
Tasty!
Food was great!
Reminds me of the jollof my mum makes for owambe parties back home. Chicken sauce is rich and the rice is never mushy.
Grabbed this after a long shift at Vancouver General and it hit exactly right. Jollof has that real party-style smokiness, not just red rice with no depth.
Solid weeknight order after picking my kids up from school in Surrey. Would love a little more spice, but the chicken is always tender.
Ordered a few of these for a get-together in Burnaby and everyone kept asking where I got real party jollof delivered in Vancouver.
Great flavor overall. Wish the turkey portion was a touch bigger, but the seasoning on the rice is spot on every time.
Turkey is well seasoned and the fried rice actually has that mixed vegetable depth to it, not just plain rice with peas thrown in.
Reminds me of Christmas fried rice back home, but I get it delivered to my door in Richmond any day of the week.
This is what I bring to potlucks with my coworkers in New Westminster. Always the first container empty.
Ordered this before a long shift at SFU and it kept me full for hours. Vegetables still have a nice bite to them.
Brought this to a Nigerian fellowship gathering in Coquitlam and it disappeared fast. Tastes like a proper party plate.
This tastes just like my grandmother's egusi from back home in Lagos. Genuinely impressive for a meal prep delivery in Vancouver.
Egusi is rich and nutty, exactly how it should be. Fufu is soft and the assorted meat is well seasoned throughout.
Really rich, comforting soup. Wish there was a bit more meat mixed in, but I'll keep this in my rotation.
Fried rice and turkey this good delivered straight to my apartment near Commercial Drive feels like a win every week.
This is my go-to after closing shifts near Metrotown. Rice actually tastes smoky
Brought this to a family gathering in Surrey and everyone cleaned their plates. Deep, nutty flavor from the first bite.
Egusi soup this good, delivered right to my door near UBC, feels almost unfair. Deep flavor, tender meat, no notes.
Ordered this after a long week grinding downtown and it was exactly the hearty comfort meal I needed. Fufu texture is on point.
Ogbono has that real draw texture and the pounded yam is smooth, not lumpy at all. Meat is tender all the way through.
Great flavor and consistency. Would love a touch more meat, but the pounded yam is always spot on.
Reminds me of Sunday dinners growing up. This is the real deal, even out here in Burnaby.
Ogbono soup this good delivered right to my door in Richmond feels almost unfair. Deep, hearty, no notes.
Ordered this for a family gathering near Metrotown and it disappeared fast. Tastes like something from an actual Sunday dinner table.
This is what I crave after a long week working near Coquitlam. Rich and satisfying every single time.
Banga has that rich palm oil flavor done right, not oily or overwhelming. Fufu pairs perfectly with the assorted meat.
Ordered this after a long shift near Grandview-Woodland and it was exactly the hearty meal I needed after a cold, rainy day.
This tastes like something my aunt would make back home. Genuinely surprised to find this quality delivered in Vancouver.
This is my Sunday comfort meal after a busy week running around the city. Rich flavor every single time.
Really deep, rich flavor. Wish there was a little more meat in the mix, but the soup itself is consistently good.
Brought this to a Nigerian community event in Surrey and everyone wanted to know where I got it. Bold, authentic flavor.
Really flavorful broth. Wish there was a bit more fish, but the fufu is always perfectly soft.
The seafood and fish in this soup are fresh and the broth has real depth. Perfect after a rainy Vancouver evening.
