Turkuaz Kitchen Traditional and Modern Dough Recipes for Sweet and Savory Bakes: A Baking Book

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Step into the warmth of Betül Tunç’s kitchen, where flour-dusted hands and the aroma of fresh-baked bread tell stories that span continents and generations.

What began in the snowy winters of northeastern Turkey—a young girl learning the ancient rhythms of dough alongside her mother and sisters—has blossomed into a baking phenomenon. Betül’s vintage-style videos captivated thousands on Instagram, and now her debut cookbook invites you to discover the same magic in your own kitchen.

Turkuaz Kitchen is more than a collection of recipes; it’s a treasure chest of eighty-five carefully curated formulas for sweet and savory doughs that form the foundation of memorable meals. From the flaky layers of traditional Turkish phyllo to the buttery spirals of cardamom buns, from handmade pasta to golden-topped baklava dripping with pistachio and honey—each recipe carries the soul of Turkish baking traditions while embracing modern techniques.

The book guides you through:

• Essential basic doughs for everyday baking
• Enriched doughs that transform simple ingredients into extraordinary treats
• Quick breads and pastries for when time is precious
• Traditional Turkish specialties like Spinach Triangle Borek and Grandma’s Lavash

Whether you’re a novice baker or a seasoned pro, Betül’s warm, achievable approach makes every recipe feel like an invitation rather than an instruction. This is baking that brings people together—the kind that fills your home with the irresistible scent of possibility and creates food memories worth savoring.
