Our Story

A beautiful blend of cultures, passion, and family

Lezly & Malik Leonard

More than just a married couple, Lezly and Malik are best friends bound by an extraordinary cosmic connection. Both Aquarians, they share the same zodiac sign—a fitting reflection of their kindred spirits and complementary personalities. Yet their journey together is a beautiful testament to how two people from completely different worlds can create something truly magical.

🇧🇿 Caribbean Heritage

Lezly, a proud Belizean American, grew up in a vibrant Caribbean household where food was more than sustenance—it was a celebration of culture and tradition. Raised in a family that specialized in fine Caribbean cuisine, she inherited a deep appreciation for bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and the art of bringing people together around the table. Her culinary roots run deep in the warm spices and island traditions of the Caribbean.

🍽️ Southern Soul

Malik, a native of Georgia, grew up in the American South where soul food is a way of life. Raised in a household that mastered the art of Southern cooking, he learned the warmth, comfort, and love that comes with traditional soul food cuisine. From slow-cooked classics to time-honored recipes passed down through generations, Malik's culinary foundation is rooted in the heart and soul of Southern tradition.

A Shared Passion

What truly unites Lezly and Malik is their unwavering passion for cooking. When these two culinary worlds collide, magic happens. Together, they've created a unique fusion that honors both their heritage and celebrates the beauty of cultural diversity. By bringing Caribbean and Soul Food traditions together, they craft extraordinary cuisine that tells a story of love, heritage, and culinary excellence. Every dish that leaves their kitchen is a testament to their combined talents and shared vision.

Family First

Lezly and Malik are proud parents to four beautiful children—one son and three daughters—who bring joy and inspiration to their daily lives. Their family is completed by their beloved Cane Corso, their "bonus baby with paws," who is as much a part of the Made Together family as anyone else. Family orientation isn't just a value for them; it's the foundation of everything they do.

This family-first mentality extends beyond their home and into every catering experience they provide. Lezly and Malik don't just serve exceptional food—they create unforgettable moments. They take immense pride in ensuring that every guest feels not just satisfied, but genuinely cared for. By the end of each event, clients don't just leave with full bellies; they leave feeling like they've been part of the Made Together family.
