Her videos range from quick Shorts to longer step-by-step recipes for dishes such as stuffed peppers, baklava, künefe, pastries and börek, with a focus on practical tips.

The channel has about 7,060 subscribers and a median of roughly 2,060 views per video, with some clips reaching well above that. Audience estimates suggest a Turkish-speaking viewer base of home cooks, mostly women aged 25 and older, though these figures are modelled rather than platform-reported.
