Endlessly addictive and beautifully shot, we can’t get enough of these cooking videos. Baklava to Burria Burritos to Burrata and everything in between. Fresh homemade bread, pasta, dumplings and cakes! OMG the cakes alone…
Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese
Welcome to the world of Betül, a chef, food photographer and recipe developer from Blacksburg, Virginia. “I started my Instagram page @TurkuazKitchen to express my passion for food through cooking, baking, decorating, styling, and finally capturing the glory of it all in videos and photos. I am a pastry chef; baking has always been my passion since I was a little girl. I like to try various desserts and food from different world cuisines, each time adding something from myself. I prioritize using high-quality ingredients in my recipes and I love using the key ingredients as part of the composition in my photographs.”

It is literally the most delicious account on Instagram. There’s something very homey about her content, she always wears a long gathered skirt and apron, and creates her dishes with old fashioned or simple tools. She doesn’t use a KitchenAid or Vitamix. Each video is shot in close up with very little mess and is cut expertly to show the steps. And the final dish always looks so astonishingly yummy that it’s impossible to stop watching until the end.
But Betül’s content is also really accessible. She doesn’t force you to scroll through endless blog posts full of ads and AI generated copy, she includes the recipe right there in the IG caption. One stop shopping for all your culinary inspo needs.
