NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • In her first cookbook, social media star and baker Betül Tunç of Turkuaz Kitchen shares 85 recipes for sweet and savory doughs and the dishes to make with them.
Betül Tunç'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.
Betül'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, Betül began creating vintage-style videos on Instagram, garnering an audience that grew rapidly with each personal post she shared.

Reviews
“While browsing the enormous world of social media a handful of years ago, I happened upon one of Betül Tunç’s recipe videos. I was immediately struck not only by the enchanting scene she’d set with her vintage plates, bowls, and tools, but also by her skilled and confident hands as she went through the steps of making the dish. After twenty years of enjoying (and participating in) food media, I knew I was witnessing something (and someone) very special. I haven’t missed a video of Betül’s since, and I consider every one of them a gift. I sit, settle in, and make it a point to turn off the world so I can enjoy every second. Turkuaz Kitchen is a tangible collection of everything wonderful Betül shares with the world, and it is a treasure in every sense of the word. Her recipes are so well–thought-out, very doable for the home cook, and each one hints to a simpler time, with accessible, whole ingredients that Betül transforms into sublime dishes. I can’t remember a cookbook I’ve been more excited about, and I know I will be sharing this as a gift with many of my loved ones. If you haven’t yet discovered Betül Tunç, you are in for an absolute delight.”—Ree Drummond, New York Times bestselling author of The Pioneer Woman Cooks
