Rustic and wholesome baking without complicated utensils
In the bustling city of Istanbul, a young girl named Bëtul Tunç discovered her love for food. Little did she know, this passion would lead her to become the social media sensation known as Turkuaz Kitchen. Today she has over 10 million followers on Instagram, and well above one million on YouTube and TikTok as well.
Bëtul’s journey began in her grandmother’s kitchen, where she learned the art of Turkish cuisine. From the start, Bëtul was enchanted. Hence, she decided to dedicate her life to food, not just eating it, but creating it.
Fast forward to today, Bëtul, or should we say Turkuaz Kitchen, is a social media influencer with a massive following. Her secret? A unique blend of traditional Turkish cuisine with a modern twist. And let’s not forget her infectious personality that adds a dash of spice to every dish she creates.
Turkuaz Kitchen is known for its diverse range of dishes. From the ‘Lahmacun’ (Turkish pizza for the uninitiated) to the classic Basque cheesecake, her food is a gastronomic delight. And she doesn’t only bake, she is giving us savoury snacks and street food which is equally important. One or her most popular recent posts is an Italian meatball sub, and of course the bread is home-made. Speaking of home-made, have you ever tried making your own Burrata? This tutorial might be your best chance of succeeding.
But the main draw is the sweets. Bëtul’s ‘Şekerpare’, a traditional Turkish dessert, is the perfect end to any meal. These soft, sweet pastries soaked in syrup are the epitome of comfort food. One bite, and you’ll be transported to the bustling streets of Istanbul.
In conclusion, Turkuaz Kitchen is not just about food. It’s about sharing the rich culture and history of Turkey through its cuisine. Her account is also about baking and cooking without all the expensive, and let’s face it, often unnecessary machines and utensils.
