"I was sitting on the kitchen floor at 6 in the morning, searching for what I could safely give my baby — and realizing everything I found was either too complicated or too vague. That moment became Hearth."

I built Hearth because I couldn't find what I needed. After my daughter started solids, I spent hours cross-referencing baby-led weaning research with family dinner planning, trying to build a week that worked for everyone at the table — a baby, a toddler, two adults with no time.

Nothing existed that held all of that at once. Not in one calm, considered place. So I built it.

I have a background in health economics, which means I think carefully about evidence. Every recipe in Hearth is built around real nutritional principles — iron absorption, allergen introduction timing, whole grains over refined — not trends.

What Hearth does

One app. Every member
of the table.

Hearth is structured around four pillars of family nourishment. Each one is complete on its own — together, they cover your whole week.

Little Ones

Baby-led weaning from 6 months through toddlerhood. Stage-by-stage food introductions, allergen tracking, and first finger foods — all evidence-based, all calm.

BLW · First Foods · Allergen Tracker

School Days

Lunchboxes that children actually eat. Wholefood, nut-free, prep-ahead. From onigiri to hummus plates — simple enough for a Tuesday morning.

Lunchbox Plans · Batch Prep · Nut-Free

Parent Prep

Sunday batch recipes that feed the week. Bone broth, hummus, brown rice, granola. The foundations that make everything else possible on a weekday.

Batch Cooking · Larder Staples · Prep Plans

Family Dinner

Shared wholefood meals for the whole table. Miso-glazed salmon, shakshuka, za'atar chicken — 80+ recipes across Japanese, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and European traditions.

Nothing it doesn't.

Hearth is a focused tool. It does one thing — helps your family eat well — and does it with care.
