484: 10.5 Million Instagram Fans Later with Betül Tunç

Betül Tunç is one of the true breakout food stars of the past couple of years. But do you really know Betül Tunç? We’re thrilled to have Betül on the show for her first podcast interview to talk about how she brought her iconic recipes to life via social videos that transport viewers to destinations both near and far. We talk about her life growing up in Turkey and her move to the United States, first to Wisconsin and later Virginia. Finally, we cover her terrific debut cookbook, Turkuaz Kitchen: Traditional and Modern Dough Recipes for Sweet and Savory Bakes. It’s a book based around cooking (and baking) with dough, a unique approach that unlocks a new world of home kitchen adventures.  Take our listener survey! We'd love to to hear who we should invite into our studio for an interview and TASTE Check. MORE FROM Betül Tunç:Turkish Chicken Döner [IG]Meet Culinary Virtuoso Betül Tunç of Turkuaz Kitchen [Anthropologie]
