I got here in Istanbul last week and can’t believe it how much food varieties Turkey has and tbh I’m intimidated. Ok guys I have to share this, I didn’t know that Refika is famous in Turkey as a chef, I was grocery shopping at some supermarket and saw Refika’s picture on a dairy product and me being a fan, I screamed OMG OMG it’s Refika!!! Then I said she’s my favorite chef and didn’t know that she’s more than a KZread chef. It was funny the guy at the shop didn’t understand what I was saying but could see my funny reaction and laughed. But yeah this city is full of happiness and Turkish people are very hospitable and amazing. I’m so grateful to be here and live here for the next 3 months y’all

Yeah, she has her tv cooking show for a long time which isn't much different than her youtube videos. But i like her videos more as it is more casual :)

Have fun 🤩

Aloha from Hawaii!! I am new to your channel and am so excited to cook and create again!! My kitchen inspirations seemed like like “chores” after being home full time to my disabled husband. Previously cooking has always been my passion and joy. Since my cooking requirements are three times per day, seven days a week, it does not seem like fun. I was bored with my own vast recipes. You have lit my fire again and my head us full of variations of what can be done. Your style of cooking is unctuous and so beautiful to look at. Thank you for sharing your inspirations!! I’ll keep on watching for sure!! I have four boxes of phyllo in my freezer that I didn’t feel inspired enough to use. Now in a few minutes, that has all changed, thanks to you and your team! I have already had almost all the ingredients, spices and am excited to use them in a different way!! 🥰. Thank you! 🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺

Bahar is really growing as a cinematographer. Every video looks better than the one before, she captures such beautiful and crisp shots of the food, but you can also clearly see how much fun she has and the warmth she feels for her family. I love seeing that talent bloom alongside Refika's wonderful and creative cooking.

I love it when everybody crowds around the food: you all remind me of my friend group here. You’re all gorgeous. Love and great blessings upon you from North Carolina, USA.

I come to this channel 1st to watch you, you're adorably fun!, and 2nd for the food! This Texas girl is making these soon!! These are ingredients i can get and I think i can do it!!! Thanks!!

We call it strudel hope Refika knows about that wonder if they have apple börek and böreks with fruits in their cuisine would be good with some kind of syrup

OH! The childhood memories.... of my grandparents fine gourmet "old country" cooking😋

Thank you 😊💝 so much 😘 Greetings from Tanzania 🇹🇿

1000000 flowers for you and your teams thank you very much have a nice day

Only you could come up with this incredible combination. This creativity is what makes you unique 👏

Refika, you so precious and have a great sense of humour.

Wao absolutely loved this great sharing look so tempting and melting in mouth what a great sharing 100% worth to try

Okay, these look insanely amazing!!!! I have phyllo in my freezer just need to get the cheese - will try with date syrup. Thank you Refika & team for ALL your amazing recipes and your technique and direction is very helpful to us!

This recipe is murder! It kills any willpower for a diet! I'm in love with it!

One of your videos ended up in my feed, I’ve been hooked ever since. I’m not even remotely Turkish, but an American European mutt. But I love watching you cook, I love your explanations, I love the history, and how you share your personal feelings associated with a dish, whether it’s traditional, or you have a specific memory. Your crew is adorable. Thank you for your channel!

Dear Refika, I learn so much from you all of the time. I love your joyful, and realistic, teaching style, Your friends/staff are very relatable, and I wish I were there in Turkey to eat your amazing creations! But, I'm very thankful that you are giving the people of the world a chance to enjoy your cuisine! If I'm feeling down, your happy demeanor brings me right up to being happy. Thank you ever so much! Cook on!!!

Oh wow....I so enjoy her channel . The way she enjoys cooking is just so much fun to watch. Amazing recipes.

Such a lovely video and recipe, it brought a smile to my face! Thank you so much!

Wow ! New family favorite ❤ Thanks Rafika for Great insite. 👍 lots of love from South Africa 🇿🇦

Excellent 👌🏻 Greetings from Scotland ♥️ Have a wonderful day everyone 🌻

I just knew Bahar was going to chomp that crispy piece, but she showed restraint. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH THE REAL BAHAR!?! 🤨🤣

My husband and I discovered your channel 2 weeks ago and we're addicted... Binge watching here in South Africa.

You should have used the song "killing me softly" (with this pie ...) as background music. Looks so delicious 😋🤤

You are amazing ❤️❤️❤️❤️thank you so much! Love from Virginia USA

Philo and cheese? That's something I can never resist. Beautiful! Love you guys and that everyone gets to try the food ❤️

I loved this video. When I watch your videos, I keep calories aside. Will try the thahini one. Thankyou for sharing and stay blessed all of you❤️

Going grocery shopping for phyllo, cheese, almonds etc!!!!

I have been drooling since this video started. I will definitely need to make these Pide

Brilliant, love it!!! Watching your channel has become a Saturday's treat.❤❤❤❤❤

I love when you all eat together! Bravo!

Refika, consider sending part of your inventory to a fufillment company in USA. This would reduce shipping charges for customers in North America. The high shipping will likely prevent people from ordering. Your prices are reasonable, but with shipping makes items cost double.

Absolutely bloody genius! You and your team are truly amazing! I am an Indo-Persian personal Chef in Atlanta in the US and your job is my DREAM!!! Keep on inspiring Refika!!! 💜

What a fantastic idea! Thank you so much. As I am not much into making dough for the pride, this is a brilliant option! Greetings from Bulgaria!

I love the sound of your knife cutting through all the layers of dough! It has been too hot and humid here (MA, USA) to use the oven, but I have been using a lot of tahini. My "invention" - boil ramen noodles for three minutes then add hot noodles to a mixture of 1 tablespoon tahini, 1 Tablespoon sugar, and put in refrigerator til very cold - even almost frozen. This has kept me going in the heat wave. Already on a second jar of tahini! Love to Refika and the entire team :)

Hi, Refika looking forward to this!

Ever since I’ve found Refika’s channel I’ve been eating Turkish cuisine atleast 4 times a week . Love you Refika abla 🙌🏻🙌🏻

WOW WOW WOW!!! 👍🏻👍🏻😋

Refıka, you are the best! Love you and your great team😘💞🥰

You always make my day happier! Thank you

I tried tahini with molasses and it has become my favorite to curb my sugar craving. I know it’s a healthier version

@user-xz4eq2ci6h

Pekmez and tahini is a known combination here by old people that lived in the 30s 40s these were the old real recipes that were inherited by the Turks in my homeland Bulgaria that was enjoyed with baked pumpkin and molasses was enjoyed in something similar to polenta we call kaçamak which we took from Turkey I guess

More ice cream! OMG that all looks so good. I make pide at home since your vlog and now this?! From my lips to my hips. You’ll be the death of me Refika! But I’ll die happy! Cheers from Canader eh!

Ok I’M IN!!!!! Yes please

As always, every dish looks delicious! Thanks!

I have made baklava forever. I REALLY love your cutting technique to make rolling the cigars so much easier. I would even be applicable to rolling wraps (which are really big in the US) which I usually find too doughy. Also the mid-cook cut to add other bits and pieces. Oh, and using the tahini instead of the butter! I imagine it tastes like halva. I really want to come to Turkey. Your group is so joyful and it looks beautiful. And, of course, the flavors!

I love your video! From Singapore 🇸🇬

Thank you once again Refika and your wonderful team ....I know what is for dinner and dessert tonight!

Ooooh this is a really good idea! This is so smart. You're always so smart!

This makes a very understated and elegant dessert ! Thankyou 💓 from Porto in Portugal.

Saturday means 2 things You have one more day of weekend A new video is uploaded in Refika's Kitchen and ... it's something amazing with my favorite type of dough!
