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

Tunç began her baking journey at the age of eight in her Turkish homeland. Her pursuit of learning and perfecting dough creations grew and she eventually moved to the United States, where she pursued learning food styling and photography. Her creativity found an outlet through her Instagram account, where she displayed photos and videos of her dishes. An instant hit, Turkuaz Kitchen drew millions of followers and allowed Tunç to spread to all social media platforms, featuring vintage kitchen equipment. This book is the culmination of her work and offers a comprehensive look at both traditional and modern dough recipes, each featuring a thorough description, techniques, and stunning photography. A welcome addition to the book is the way readers are treated to a simple dough creation and then taught how to expand it into something as glorious as a chocolate babka, or shown how a basic pretzel recipe can transform into three delicious dishes. There are sweet and savory recipes, and each is accompanied by a bit of history, always with a nod toward and appreciation of Tunç’s homeland.
