Welcome to the Bonicelli Cooking Club! I'm Chef Laura, and I built this app to bring the Mindful Mediterranean lifestyle right to your fingertips.
Whether you're just starting to explore Mediterranean cooking or you've been on this journey with me for a while, this app is your daily companion for eating well, feeling great, and having fun in the kitchen.
WHAT'S INSIDE
449+ Original Recipes
Every single recipe is one I've developed and tested myself. Search by ingredient, filter by category, and find your next favorite meal in seconds. Each recipe comes with step-by-step instructions, tappable cooking timers, and an ingredients checklist you can tick off as you go. Share recipes with friends or print them for the kitchen counter.
Mindful Mediterranean Course
My signature video course walks you through the foundations of Mediterranean cooking, week by week. Watch lessons at your own pace, track your progress, and build skills that last a lifetime.
Simple Daily Tracking
Log your meals using my simple color system — no calorie counting, no guilt, just mindful awareness of what you're eating. Track your water intake, log your movement, practice meditation, and write in your gratitude journal, all in one place.
Meal Planning & Shopping Lists
Plan your week with recipes from the app, then generate a smart shopping list that groups ingredients by grocery aisle. Check items off as you shop or copy the list to your clipboard.
Your Herb Garden
This is my favorite part. As you build healthy habits, a virtual herb garden grows on your home screen. Five herbs — basil, rosemary, lavender, oregano, and thyme — each tied to a different wellness habit. Keep your streaks going and watch them bloom. When they reach full growth, they harvest and start again. A fresh daily challenge each morning keeps things fun. It's a little thing, but it makes every day feel like progress.
Mindfulness Suite
A meditation timer with floating leaves, a focus timer for deep work, guided breathing exercises, and a daily intention and gratitude journal. These aren't afterthoughts — they're woven into the app because cooking and wellness go hand in hand.
Weekly Report Card
Every week, see how you did — meals, water, movement, meditation, streaks, and garden growth — all wrapped up in a shareable card you can send to friends or stick on your fridge.
The Table — Our Community
Share your wins, your meals, and your stories with other members. React to each other's posts, leave comments, and cheer each other on. This is the most supportive corner of the internet.
Meet Remi
Remi is your AI kitchen assistant. Ask Remi anything — what to cook tonight, how to substitute an ingredient, or what to do with the random vegetables in your fridge. Remi knows all my recipes and is always happy to help.
Podcast
Listen to Midwest Meets Mediterranean right in the app — conversations about food, wellness, and living well.
Chef's Favorites
My curated collections of kitchen tools, pantry staples, and specialty ingredients — the products I personally use and love, all in one place.
WHAT'S FREE
Browse all 449+ recipes, log your daily meals with the color-coded tracker, chat with Remi, and listen to the podcast — all completely free. The full experience — including the video course, meal planning, the mindfulness suite, your herb garden, daily challenges, and The Table community — is included with a Mindful Mediterranean membership.
I made this app because I believe good food and mindful living should be simple, joyful, and accessible to everyone. I hope it becomes a little bright spot in your day.
Happy cooking!
