About the author

Betül Tunç

Betül Tunç is a baker originally from Turkey, and the founder of the social media phenomenon Turkuaz Kitchen. Betül'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 savoury 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 and numbers more than 9 million followers on Instagram and 1 million on TikTok. She lives in Blacksburg, Virginia, with her family.
