About Elizabeth Heiskell
Born and raised in the heart of the Mississippi Delta, Elizabeth Heiskell’s love of food, fun, and storytelling was stirred early on in her mother’s and grandmother’s kitchens. That passion blossomed into a nationally recognized career spanning television, publishing, and live events. Best known as a longtime food contributor on NBC’s TODAY Show, Elizabeth has become a trusted voice for home cooks looking for approachable, modern Southern recipes served with warmth and wit. Her bestselling cookbooks—including What Can I Bring?, The Southern Living Party Cookbook, and Come On Over!—have earned a permanent place on kitchen shelves across the country.
Elizabeth’s culinary journey has taken her far beyond the Delta. She has cooked for dignitaries like the Duchess of York, Vice President Al Gore, and Chef Thomas Keller, and shared her expertise aboard Silver Sea cruises as a representative of the Viking Cooking School, where she previously served as Lead Culinary Instructor. In 2011, Elizabeth and her husband Luke settled in Oxford, Mississippi, where they founded Woodson Ridge Farm and launched Elizabeth Heiskell Catering. Known for its refined Southern menus and warm personal touch, the company has catered events across the country—from Napa Valley to Charleston—while staying rooted in its Oxford community.
Today, Elizabeth balances a thriving catering business with frequent TV appearances, book signings, and speaking engagements. She’s the founder of Debutante Farmer, an award-winning Bloody Mary mix born on the farm and now celebrated as one of the South’s best products by Southern Living. A breast cancer survivor and passionate advocate for early detection, Elizabeth brings heart, humor, and authenticity to everything she does—whether she’s cooking on camera, running her farm, or inspiring others to entertain with ease and joy. With a fourth book on the horizon and a devoted digital following, she remains a beloved figure in the world of Southern food and hospitality.
