[@annasnellen4186]

In my opinion, the Like button is not strong enough to express how I feel when I'm watching your videos. They should have a ❤ button and a 💯% interesting button! Not only that... I believe all the people who are now consuming the Standard American Diet (SAD) could greatly improve their nutrition by eating your wonderful food. & thank you very much for appearing online

[@darin4i4ka]

I love your channel because the recipes remind me so much of my grandma's cooking, I am originally from Bulgaria. My grandma passed away a while ago, so your videos always bring me a lot of soft sweet nostalgia ❤️ congrats on 500k followers xx

[@Amethyst1919]

I adore your channel. I love cooking and enjoy experimenting with things that I'm not familiar with and working to master them. You provide such good instruction as well as inspiration for making something our own. That's what brought me here... what keeps me here is you and your team... Everyone is so sweet, and I can see you are just one big family... I'd love to adopt Bahar!

[@Alyshiah05]

My family and I love your channel because we had family who moved to Istanbul and cooking Turkish foods makes us feel closer to him. We also enjoy how educational your videos are. You explain the science and the cultural stories behind the dishes to beautifully!

[@danielamorin9874]

I grew up in South America but I live in the USA. Your recipes remind me of the food I had when I grew up. I’m starting to cook it because you’ve inspired me. Thank you for bringing me wonderful memories

[@erikavahamartti2708]

Congrats Refika and the team! Me (Finnish) and my partner (Turkish) live in Belgium and we watch your videos together, so I can learn Turkish kitchen and he gets to drool to your recipes 🤤 #iloverefikaskitchen

[@richardriga5125]

I love your channel. Yes I have been to Turkey and I must say it's a phenominal country, well balanced with beautiful people who are very proud of their heritage. People, easy to communicate with that have time for others, where the true human element is very important. Your channel is very inspiring and I have prepared many of your dishes with great success. Your channel is my go to when I have to make a quick plan for dinner. You have a very relaxed nature and I love how you interact with your entire team bringing them into the conversation. I can see that each member feels appreciated and will bring the best to their workplace with that very motivated attitude of yours. I love your english, it is remarkable as well as entertaining, it brings a spark to each episode that would have been difficuilt to achieve was it not for your enthusiastic, positive, boundless zest for life. May you and your team achieve all your goals and be blessed!!

[@ed2821]

Your Fava bean recipe is similar to Eritrean dish we have, the difference is we beat till it is foamy and eat it with home made tomato souce. I love your recipes and your presentation. I will try yours, it is easier and different ❤️

[@zeedevil4409]

This has been a wonderful place to find the Turkish dishes I fawn over from my travels there

[@cheereomate]

My favorite channel❤️. I found this channel when I was feeling really down and it just simply made me happy again. Any time I feel down I just turn on Refika's kitchen and plan my next cooking adventure! The humor in this show is lovely and the food is so vibrant! # IloveRefika's Kitchen #Cookingislife

[@rainjta83]

SUPER THANKS, letting you know that you are super loved. Love your recipes, SUPER THANKS from a Colombian in Minnesota who is vegetarian. Blessings!!!!

[@pixieblush]

This was so great! Please do more vegan/vegetarian recipes. I’m sure there are tons more accidental vegan/vegetarian recipes in the Turkish kitchen! ❤️

[@timurcan2210]

We Turks eat like vegetarian generally with olive oil.

[@ilantamir5302]

Making delicious food is an art form. Teaching art involves knowledge, communicative abilities, but more illusively, the ability to inspire and create empathy. In this you excel enormously. Your family and us are blessed by having you!

[@utkua]

Accidentally vegan recipes are the best vegan recipes.

[@elmerlittle3465]

I was stationed in Adana, and I love the Turkish food. You and your kitchen are so great band has taught me a lot about Turkish food. Love your show.

[@kathleenkocan628]

We’ve been busy getting our garden ready. My husband and I are catching up with our Refika’s Kitchen videos. I hope we’re not too late! We love watching your videos together. He places his order and I follow the recipes and cook him foods from his childhood in Turkey and the new and improved Refika recipes. I have learned so much as a cook. For me the ultimate reward is seeing my husband smile after a good meal that makes him feel loved and his culture validated. #❤️Refika’sKitchen

[@gIFFyification]

Hi refika & team! Greetings from Sri Lanka. I’ve been watching your channel since the pandemic started for us in 2020, and I’ve loved LOVED all your videos. I’ve noticed certain similarities between your cuisine and some of our cuisine (especially the food of the Muslims in our country). I love your techniques and your chicken doner recipe we use as a staple at home. I love the way you edit the videos, and I love when bahar and burak make appearances… in fact I love how loving you all seem towards each other which makes the energy in your videos so lovely. I’ve been telling my husband I can’t wait to one day visit you and try your hammered beef dish if I ever do get the chance to meet you! Turkey looks amazing!! At the moment things in Sri Lanka are not so great as we are going through a political and economic crisis but every time I see a video of yours I just escape into the world of your warm cozy kitchen! Congratulations on your KZbin milestone and much love all the way from SL. ❤️❤️❤️ I’ve commented before but never got a response, hope you see this and give me a thumbs up!

[@simonportelli5071]

The channel is so good because of several reasons, firstly the food is always amazing and for me reminds me of some food made by my Maltese grandparents. Secondly its the you and the crew you work with, everyone always looks like they are having fun, and how you include them in the show, you talk to them, they come into view, they participate in the cooking and are very engaging, its your show but you share the limelight with the others, and you encourage them to be part of your family. Congratulations on reaching 500,000, you will be at a million soon, i wake every Sunday looking forward to seeing what you will be doing next.

[@amirchaudhry3711]

Just wanted to send some love from Southern California, USA! My wife and I watch your show all the time for amost 2 years! We learned so much from you and my wife has made doner kebab and bread from your show. Anyway, you and your team are such a positive force and everyone on your show is freaking awesome! Can't wait for your next 500k subscribers! We know you will be there shortly!

[@mercedesyoung5906]

I'm from Panama and I visit Istanbul last year. Love your country and the wonderful food. I leave in Florida now and so glad that I can learn to cook just like you. 👍 wonderful. Your Hummus is the best among the rest. All the amazing vegan recipes. Don't know where to start. Love you much ❤️

[@melanietempleton2605]

Thank you! I spoke of you yesterday to recommend you, at a new grocery store, here in Pennsyvlania, USA. (A place to buy all sizes of bulgar)Thank you!!!

[@brendaigarta6071]

I like your channel for many reasons: 1. You are beautiful & when you talk, I listen. 2. You and your team are happy people. 3. You explain everything, how every ingredient do to the dish and most of the time the origin of the dish. 4. You have a heart ,

[@anitawong822]

Hi, congratulations from Hong Kong ! Thank you for introducing Turkish vegan food to us.

[@meeraramlochan3523]

I Like this Channel because believe I was Turkish in my last life, coming here is like going home.

[@dkorsey]

I really like this channel because I love mediterranean food, I eat little bit of meat but LOVE non meat dishes, and I love the glimpses you give of the country and the great stories that you weave into the videos. 💖💖💖

[@RoxieEE]

Congratulations on reaching 500,000 subscribers, Refika & team! Thank you so much for all these vegan recipes, as well! My household is lacto-ovo, but trying to eat vegan, as often as we can, so I really appreciate it. Why do I love your channel? Because you present excellent recipes in an engaging, entertaining manner, and your videos are high quality even while you remain completely genuine. By the way, sour, green plums are called greengage, in English (and, nobody asked, but they're gojeh in farsi, which might have something to do with the etymology of the English name, as the plums originate in Iran), and I agree, they're magic.

[@tessalynne6778]

I am new and very excited about your channel. I recently started dating a guy who is Turkish/Persian. The third date I was told I needed to learn to cook Turkish food. I love cooking so my response was "challenge accepted". You are one of my virtual tutors for this.

[@blueskylake1962]

You make it feel like I am in your Kitchen when your cooking. Your joy, love for cooking is fantastic. And you give great, practical, advice on cooking. Thanks for your smile and the great food.

[@laurieashley4306]

I don’t like eggplant but I would like to. So you need to do an eggplant video. Congratulations on 500. I love your channel because you have expanded my taste buds. Ever recipe that I have tried I have loved. Best falafel recipe ever.

[@sunshinenn3067]

Your channel is so unique. It’s funny, u go behind the history of things & explain so well. The videos are soooo funny & easy to follow! I am terrible at cooking but what I make from watching u come out perfect! You explain SO WELL!!!! U r AMAZING, one of a kind & u have a great, fun loving crew! LOVE ur channel.

[@anahidkassabian4471]

Wonderful line-up! As I've said several times, I watch your channel to be reminded of things from my childhood, and to be reminded how to make them, to learn how to make them better, and in many cases to learn new recipes, too. This is one of my most favourite channels--honestly--and now my nephews watch you, too. Thank you all so much for all of your hard work

[@deborahneumann9162]

What a PERFECT video for Me right now - just became completely vegan about 6 months ago. I do SO appreciate you and your team immensely - beautiful, loving human beings… all of you! Going vegan cold turkey has been “interesting”, to say the least. These recipes are so inviting and I can hardly wait to make many of them. I Absolutely LOVE Refika’s Kitchen!!!! MUCH Love… from Jacksonville, North Carolina, USA - - - Deborah Kay Neumann

[@grublet2093]

I found you because of your Turkish coffee video, but I've stayed and subscribed because of the energy you bring to what you love. I've tried a few of the recipes so far and I am looking forward to trying many more!

[@AlyonasWatercolourCreations]

Congratulations!! 500k!! You totally deserve it!! I am so glad I found your channel, love you sense of humour and delicious authentic recipes with a modern and beautiful presentation! To the next 500k!!! 👍🏼👍🏼🧡

I love your channel because of the brilliant recipes. Greetings from Northern Ireland, BELFAST. ❤

[@driesvanwyk8038]

Brilliant. I am writing from South Africa. My son is studying in the Netherlands and is strictly vegan. I am sharing with him as he is discovering cooking. Thank you for your enthusiasm.

[@merikelliher3614]

Refikacim. Your positive energy inspires me to make Turkish food and you give me hope for the future of Turkey with your environmental awareness, sensitivity to minorities like vegans and your ambassadorship for the country I love. Congrats on hitting 500k.its only the beginning babe! 1 milyor için dört gözlük bekliyorum

[@isaganibaria7041]

I like the way to present your channel! I'm a silent watcher and very impressed on how you explain everything in your recipes in details plus the complete antics of Bahar I can't do without!

[@GOINGCRAZYINTHEKITCHEN]

I love Refikas Kitchen because it makes me laugh, and sometimes cry a bit, of laughter 😄and above all I long for to cook and eat amazing and heart warming dishes I did not know before. I really want to be there in your kitchen with you and your sympathetic filmteam. Since I subscribed I never missed an episode. There is also a tolerant message in between the lines, and even outspoken sometimes, that all nationalities are included - That I really empathize with. It is a channel that gives a feeling of solidarity and love and makes me think that food unites all people. Eat and cook - Do not make war!

[@d1kobraz]

i love your videos because of vibrancy, simplicity and deliciousness and also for positivity of Refika's team! Congratulations and good luck!

[@marybrewer2203]

Blessings to your little “family” of people. You seem to be so full of love for each other.

[@mehitabel6564]

Thank you so much for your great recipes. I am a meat eater who also loves vegetables, and been exploring vegetarian and vegan recipes. It is YOUR recipes that have convinced me, I've been cooking them for a while. This weekend we made a lovely Turkish breakfast/brunch of your hummus (delicious), your felafel (best I've ever had, including the cinnamon and clove), simit (SO pleased to make it, we loved it in Istanbul and missed it) plus plenty of veg and of course yoghurt. All round wonderful.

[@minanaji1644]

I love your Chanel,love turkey and Turkish people,very like your culture and your foods,thanks for everything,love,love,love❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@hasancroissant8440]

I have been following Refika since her TV days. Honestly, i think she is one of the best chefs not only in TR but around the globe. Even if i know how to make a dish by heart, i check her channels and everytime i learn something new. Bonus points for the beauty of the team's soul and the joy they bring to my day. To many 500ks Refika! You deserve the best and more

[@Jen-iy7lq]

#ILoveRafika'sKitchen because I am learning to cook regional dishes for my new (Arab) husband. He is currently in Turkey because Covid restrictions have seriously prolonged visa processing. During a recent visit I made him one of your eggplant dishes and he was astonished, he absolutely loved it. Also, I love the channel because of everyone's humor and energy, as well as Rafika's detail-orient and professionalism, which motivates me to keep learning Turkish/regional dishes. Your videos always leave me in a good mood. I want to have an herb garden like yours outside, and I was so impressed when you showed your chef knife design in one of your videos! I would love one for my husband; he absolutely loves Istanbul, and has taken me all over Taksim and Fatih. It'd be lovely for him to bring a piece of Istanbul with him and it'd serve as the perfect memento for our mini-food tours and adventures around the city.

[@chengsimtan6553]

Waving from Malaysia...thank you for demystifying Middle Eastern food in your series..and above all , making cooking fun!!

[@gerifinkelstein3675]

🎉Congratulations on achieving 500,000 subscribers!🎉 I enjoy your channel not just for the delicious food. I ❤ your thorough explanations along with your tips and tricks. One of best things you show is concern for re-purposing things that we often throw away. History of the dishes is fascinating and the view from your balcony is stupendous! Best of all is the love and friendship shown by your cohort and the absolute fun that you are having. Your channel lifts my spirits along with increasing my knowledge. Thank you! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@normawingo5116]

I’m cooking the fava bean one first, I love favs beans. I love Refikas kitchen because you all have wonderful personalities and always lift everyone up and are professional. I love that you do so many vegan foods. We all know Turkish food and hospitality is hands down the best in the world. Nothing else comes close. Simple, you are all loved here. Moving my farm and livestock rescue across the country this week, need good energy I’m exhausted. Soon as I get to my new house I’m ordering your great goodies from Etsy. The ice cubes make the hummus perfect. My favorite tip. Is there a Turkish version of moussaka? Hugs to you all, great show today!

[@susanburney1071]

I love watching you, because you have so much enthusiasm. You explain why you do something, and give other methods and why they may / may not work. I’ve made several of your dishes and they are all delicious!

[@bauerhausws7611]

I love love love the cheerful energy that you create and share with us. We have tried so many recipes and our hummus has become a dishe we take to every gathering. It always gives us an opportunity to share the link to your channel with others who love you all, too.

[@kasiaogidel5052]

I've found you thanks to my interest in Turkish culture including cinema. I decided to cook something Turkish. I was familiar with the cuisine of the Middle East, but I had no idea about Turkish cuisine. It seemed very meaty to me. I am a vegetarian, so I started to look for recipes on the Internet and found Refika's Kitchen. Thanks for the many vegan recipes. I've been watching for over a year all the videos. I started with a great Turkish breakfast. I really like your last idea of going to local restaurants and how you show what and how to eat :) it's very tasty. I'm passing on your videos to my friends as they try something at my place and they like it. They all say afterwards that you make a very positive impression and have good energy.

[@apotheosisofarose1425]

You've added 10 years to my lifespan, everything is so fresh.

[@garvice8068]

I like Refica’s channel because her voice and accent makes me feel really comfortable. I use to hear different languages riding home from work on bus in Chicago. Being a small town person, l knew l was really in a melting pot. Yes it sounds hokey but l loved hearing the beautifully loud voices. The recipes make want to inhale. Yum. I’m vegetarian.

[@keironbarton3490]

I love how you talk about Turkey and have made many of your recipes as I have always wanted to travel there and will some day soon

[@alicebecht859]

Thank you! I love your recipes. I am vegan and I look for naturally vegan recipes from many different sources around the world. They are way better than ones that have been “veganized”.

[@tephe9986]

Merhaba. Türkçemi bağışlayın, hala öğreniyorum. Kanalınızdan haftada 1-2 tarif yapıyorum. Şu an kullandığım tek şey humus tarifi. Ben de mutfağım için baharatlık arıyorum. You've changed the way I cook. I've tried so many things from your channel and have favorites we have on a regular basis. I'm also inspired to learn Turkish. All of you are such inspirations to many of us viewers. Bu kanala harcadığınız tüm emekler için teşekkür ederiz.

[@marybrewer2203]

I love these veg recipes! Many people don't realize how much Turks loves veggies

[@301jules]

Two weeks ago your Channel popped up in my KZbin Recommendations. OMG 😲!!! Where has your channel been all my life 😉? Real food for real people 🥗 with FLAVOUR mmmmmm and lots of personality. This video is very timely as we are looking at doing "No Meat May"

[@carolbednarz]

I have been binging on your youtubes for the last week! I totally love you all! I love your heart with life and cooking. I love learning new techniques! After watching all your videos, it's time to get cooking. I can't wait to try your recipes! Thank you, Refika! And blessings on everyone working so hard to bring all this to the world!

[@Refika]

Thank you soo much! ❤️

[@juliasuryakusuma9288]

I love your channel because I am a vegetarian foodie, I love Turkish food (have been to Turkey, Istanbul only unfortunately), gained 2 kilos in a week eating non-stop. I make Imam Bayildi and hummus often, I love falafel but haven't made it in a long time. Your channel is really inspiring also because you do it with so much love, passion and enthusiasm! Btw, I am Indonesian, brought up in Europe so love many different cuisines, but Turkish is definitely one of my favourites. I will try out your recipes one by one and build up my Turkish cuisine repertoire. Oh ya, I am friends with the Turkish ambassador to Indonesia. She has invited me to lunch this Saturday (25 June 2022). I am so looking fwd to it because of course it will be Turkish food!

[@janetbibriesca7371]

I love your channel, I just found it recently( 3 days ago)and I have made a few of your recipes. I am not a vegetarian, but I eat a lot of plant based dishes and I have noticed that most of your recipes include veggies and legumes and I love that. I like your personality and your crew is very likable as well. I wish your channel keeps growing, because I have always thought that we should share our talents with the world especially when we do it with such passion. Keep up the good work best wishes for you and your team👍

[@MSchipper]

Congratulations on 500K!!! The best present you gave are these vegan recipes :) I remember getting falafel in Amsterdam close to my (then) home, they were sold by a Kurdish couple. They had cloves and cinnamon in them, and I have tried to copy them many times. Thank you for your falafel recipe. I am sure they will taste very similar to the ones I used to buy in Amsterdam.

[@paulakartes8254]

Watching your program is like visiting friends with the added bonus of great foods. I'm from Canada . Your cuisine is new to me but inspire me to give it a try.

[@SuperMoedogg]

I have been watching your videos for a couple years now and all.I see is Flavor. Everything looks so tasty. I have eaten many foods close to Turkish cooking, but now I want to try your recipes. Thank you. I love your show!!!

[@bijal30]

I have visited turkey three times from the US and your channel reminds of everything I miss about turkey and India.. the joy of food, joy to celebrate food and to share with loved ones! Also Turkish food has a lot of similarity with Indian food and I love love to recreate this food at home and share with friends! Brings back so many fond memories of my travel in turkey with my close friend Sezin #iloverefikaskitchen

[@mariab4027]

Dear Refika and friends. Congratulation on your milestone! Few months ago I was looking for hummus recipe on YT and your channel popped up. I have been making it ever since like you do. What a great idea to use ice cubes instead of water! The lentil soup that will save the world is so delicious and easy to make as well! Yum yum! I also like the stories behind your recipes and the country scenery! #iloverefikaskithen. Much love from Canada!

Congratulations, Refika and Co. on 500K subscribers! I love Turkish cuisine, but where I live one can only get Doener Kebap. I particularly enjoy the enthusiasm that you and the crew bring to your episodes. I wish you a quick trip to 1,000,000 subscribers.

[@ladymagveg]

Why I love your channel: fun, easy & energetic recipes that give you big variaty of meals and also a lot cultural background as well as tips and tricks straight from the family (like the ones your mom and grandma only shares with you)... so to sum up: mainly a lot of LOVE ❤️ very informative and entertaining 😉 The other deeper reason is that I lived in Turkey for 1 year and it is the best memory from my life - it really feels like 2nd home for me (or even 1st!) From that time I fell in love with Turkish food and I try to prepare some meals from time to time - they always bring a lot of warmth and joy to life! #iloverefikaskitchen 😊

[@sashkatihova7056]

Refika and Team, Congratulations for reaching 500 K subscribers! Well deserved! I love your channel from the bottom of my hart! Because of your spirit that lifts me up! Because of the delicious recipes! Hummus is our new family favorite (Ottolenghi's was the previous one), Chi burek is kids best-loved breakfast, the fish with cauliflower rice is incredible, bulgur pilaf beacme one of our staples as well (it deserves to be in top 10 vegan recipes), the Bride soup and Menemen are my personal favorites. . I am definitely making Fava very soon and the kofte from the previous episod. Thank you! I Love you!

[@ElenaTaneva]

Congrats on the 500k! I first "met" Refika from I show on a TV channel called 24Kitchen some years ago, that was the first time I tried her recipes. One day I wanted to cook one of the dishes she showed there and that's how I discovered her youtube channel! I am really glad she and her team made their work accessable to the international audiance! I am glad I've been following this channel since it's beginning pretty much🥳. I haven't been dissapointed by her recipes, videos and tips and tricks (I've tried quite many of them 🤭), I am saying this because of all the dishes I was sceptical about at first glance, but turned out very tasty and now are proud part of my recipe notebook! Great energy, great spirit, it's obvious that they love what they do, aaand if you cannot go to Turkey, they will bring Turkey to you!

[@isabellfuchs8671]

Congratulations for 500K subscribers! I follow your channel for almost two years now an d I love it. You an d the team are so heartwarming people.It is a big pleasure to watch every new video. The ecipies are really delicious.. For me as a vegan sound even the meat dishes very tasty to me. I kind of adapted the meat dishes to vegan substitutes or mushrooms. It probably does not achieve the identical tase, but they are really delicious for me. Keep your energy and the fun whlie cooking and I am sure you will hit the million subscribers. Thank you for all those fanatastic recipies!

[@ilkimyayla3141]

I love your channel for my english 😄and find out how you can explain our culture in english, watching you is so interesting and amazing , thanks for all!

I love your channel…you, the people working (playing) with you and the food recipes. I am able to use veggies from my garden in different combinations with different herbs that are truly exciting. Turkish cuisine is awesome and never would have known without Refika’s Kitchen. The presentation of history you supply is shining but the food makes me want to come and eat my way through your country…keep smiling…

I have a lot of health concerns and I know Mediterranean dishes are healthier since you use a lot of olive oil and other plant based ingredients and spices. I just love Refika's kitchen, the way you explain things; and even your accent! Cheers to a healthier diet! More power to your team...

Your channel is very entertaining! I love experimenting with food recipes from different cultures and you make it so much fun. You always seem upbeat and personal in your videos. Upward and Onward to 1 Million subscribers.

Hi Refika’s and Co. Well Done for your milestone. I love your channel for various reasons. 1. I am not Turkish but Maltese but have been to Turkey several times because I have friends living there and been to several places all over and tasted so many regional dishes. With the help of my friends I be learnt how to do acma, Turkish breakfast and tea, chicken Kapama and kofte but through your channel I have learnt way more recipes which I refer to from time to time when I wish to taste again a bit of turkey or have Turkish friends over from turkey and want to impress them on how good I have become in serving their own cuisine 😊 I find your channel interesting and informative because you don’t only give out the recipe and make its quite easy for us non Turkish to understand and follow but you also give a historical and geographical insight of how and from where the dish originated hence making it more interesting and informative for me to watch since I love history.

My favorite dish is the artichoke hearts. My grandmother taught me how to peal them and my dad makes them for me.

I love you and all the people (and dog) on this channel. You have brightened some very dark days for me. I learn so much from you. I even was able to share one of your videos (the pumpkin pie) with my classes when we were online during the worst of the pandemic. I teach sociology but used your video as a way for students to engage with checking in (attendance). The students loved your video and few made the pie!
