Power Digestion Salad

3 weeks ago | bonberi.substack.com | Nicole Berrie

This is the kind of salad I make when I know I want a core reset. The peppery arugula cuts through most density and mucous while the fennel and celery support digestion and hydration. It’s a gut friendly powerhouse! The dressing is the most simple—lemon and olive oil as most vinegars can feed yeast (even ACV!) you can omit the cheese if keeping vegan, it honestly doesn’t even need it.
Building a Vacation Wardrobe

1 month ago | bonberi.substack.com | Nicole Berrie

Resort wear is my love language. I’m not sure what it is about tropical or Mediterranean climes but I have so much fun creating and curating a vacation wardrobe. Since it’s not “real life” I can get whimsical how I truly love to dress and it fits perfectly. I love to mix vintage pieces that I’ve collected or inherited from my mom with new local, indie designer finds and I always get inspired to weave in some of the country’s local style back home.
The Ultimate Bonberi Solo Miami Retreat

1 month ago | bonberi.substack.com | Nicole Berrie

Consider this your mini wellness guide to Miami. I structured it as I just did exactly this itinerary for myself and left feeling rejuvenated and refreshed. You obv don’t have to follow it to a T but it includes some of my favorite tried-and-true self-care spots in the 305. I’m really not one for retreats. I like to be on my own time. I like to order my own food. I like to curate my own workouts and self-care. To be honest, I’m really good at it so I do it myself.
Sweetgreen Ripple Fries Dupe!

1 month ago | bonberi.substack.com | Nicole Berrie

If your algorithm is like mine, youβve been bombarded with ads for the new Sweetgreen ripple fries (donβt worry, this isnβt another one), I just love potatoes in all forms and these looked amazing so I had to give it a whirl. They are sooo easy and delish.
Fennel and Celery Root Salad

1 month ago | bonberi.substack.com | Nicole Berrie

This salad is inspired by a recent trip to Miami, specifically the Lucali in South Beach. I don’t know if they have it at the Brooklyn flagship but I do know that, not to sound dramatic but, this salad changed my life. Prior to this, I thought there was only one way to eat fennel salad. Shaved paper thin on a mandolin, gorgeous. But the way this salad is prepared scratched something in my brain. I knew I had to recreate it.
Gochujang Cauliflower Fried Rice

1 month ago | bonberi.substack.com | Nicole Berrie

This dish is inspired by my mom, who would always make the most elaborate meals and snacks for me and my brothers growing up. She was always in the kitchen making something healthy and delicious. When it came to her own meals, she was the typical momma martyr, eating leftovers when she could. But her version of leftovers was using whatever was left of dinner and making it into a spicy, sweet, rich fried rice, usually with seaweed.
Dill Pickle Tuna Salad Crunch Wrap!

1 month ago | bonberi.substack.com | Nicole Berrie

This could be considered the very first recipe I ever created. When I was 12 I would spend weekends at my dadâ€™s house and after watching enough reruns of Hey Dude on Nickelodeon I would make my way to the kitchen and start to experiment. My dad would have tuna salad on toasted pita bread nearly every day and I wanted to make my own spin. I remember the fireworks going off when I tasted the extra dill and pickles and pride that I created something.
Creamy Coconut Lentil Soup

1 month ago | bonberi.substack.com | Nicole Berrie

I love this soup because itâ€™s so creamy and indulgent without any dairy. Itâ€™s inspired by the coconut lentil soup from one of our favorite takeout spots Hyderabadi Zaiqa in NYC. Last night I was ready to order as we usually do on Sunday nights and turns out there were sold out of soup! Seems others had the same idea as me. It was one of those cravings I could not get past so I did what Iâ€™ve been meaning to do for a while now and make it myself.
Two Hour Steam-Baked Japanese Yams

2 months ago | bonberi.substack.com | Nicole Berrie

Truth be told, I never really thought of this as a recipe. My mom would always have sweet potatoes baking in the oven for “too long.” Now I can’t promise you this was deliberate, it’s just what my mom did and the yams were always velvety, sweet, moist and incredibly soft. This is why when I see people making Japanese yams on the internet these days, I’m very confused by the dryer iterations. That’s not what they’re supposed to be like?
Curried Red Lentil Stew

2 months ago | bonberi.substack.com | Nicole Berrie

This week I decided to âplay hardâ and give my body a chance to repair. During the day, this meant amping up the juices. Starting with a green juice in the am (and coffee, I didnât give up coffee), after my workout I would have a beet/carrot or orange/carrot juice and later in the afternoon and young coconut shake. For dinner, it was arugula with lemon and avocado, wrapped in nori sheets and a warming hearty vegetarian soup/stew.
