Sarah Garcia-Heller is the founder of Side Hustle Catering Toronto, a plant-based catering and meal delivery company. With a background in community kitchens and nonprofit work, Sarah built Side Hustle as a way to stay connected and nourish her community through food during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Born from a desire to normalize vegetarian cuisine as tasty, satisfying, and approachable, Side Hustle Catering celebrates both common and unexpected ingredients. Sarah’s menus showcase inventive plant-based dishes that highlight bold flavours and creative combinations, aiming to challenge assumptions about what vegetarian food can be. Her work is rooted in community care, and every dish reflects her belief that food can be both nourishing and joyful.
