“Heart2Hearth stands for recipes created from my heart and cooked in my oven (hearth),” owner Meeta Nanda shares with Expat. “It came in existence thanks to my daughter, Maya. I owe all my energy and inspiration to her and other kids around the world with food allergies.” Raising a dairy-allergic child was a challenge for a mom like Nanda, but her love for her daughter inspired her to create dairy-free treats not just for her daughter, but for other people who were intolerant to dairy as well.
“Every order is baked with tiniest details in mind. [I] guess our personal detail to each order sets us apart from others.”
“When I started looking for store goodies to feed her, I realized no one had anything available to cater to kids with severe food allergies,” Nanda shares. “My experiments and hard work paid off in [the] kitchen when I baked a perfect vegan cake for her second birthday. Everyone at the party asked me if they could order healthy, at the same time, delicious treats for their kids.” Since most Filipinos aren’t familiar with vegan fare, many were skeptical at first. “But once they tried [it], they all loved it,” she says, adding that their weekend market booth at the Salcedo Saturday Market was always a hit with expats and locals alike. The uniqueness of Heart2Hearth is indeed part of its charm: They are the only establishment that is purely plant-based vegan, and offers dairy-free, gluten-free, and allergen-free delights. Being a homerun business helps them focus on specific requests of customers based on their
