Turkuaz Kitchen

In her first cookbook, social media star and baker Bet?l Tun? of Turkuaz Kitchen shares 85 recipes for sweet and savory doughs and the dishes to make with them. Bet?l Tun?'s love affair with dough began when she was just eight years old in Erzurum, a city nestled in northeastern Turkey known for its long and snowy winters. During the dark, frosty days, she found solace baking Turkish breads and desserts with her mother and sisters. Bet?l's enthusiasm for baking, especially for creating sweet and savory doughs from scratch, followed her through her eventual move to the U.S. and the expansion of her family. While searching for a creative outlet to share her cooking in her new home, Bet?l began creating vintage-style videos on Instagram, garnering an audience that grew rapidly with each personal post she shared.
