When it comes to miniature food tutorials, Ece Caglayan (AKA Mini Yemek) takes the cake. Prepared in a mini kitchen equipped with anything a kitchen may need, Caglayan cooks traditional Turkish food, as well as dishes from around the world, using real and edible ingredients. The results are both mouth-watering and undeniably cute.
Based in Istanbul, Turkey, Caglayan set up her miniature kitchen in a scale of 1:12. The first mini-dish she’s ever made was eggplant, but she admits the result was somewhat disappointing. “It was not cooked properly, the oven was constantly going off and it did not look like what I wanted,” said Caglayan in an interview with The Daily Mini. “But I kept trying!”
Her hard work paid off, with tens of thousands of followers on both her Instagram and YouTube pages. “I love watching miniature cooking videos,” she says. “When I saw that no one from my country had made such videos, I wanted to be the first to do it and I achieved this goal.”
“Mini yemek (or minyatur yemek) means mini food,” she explains her moniker. “Turkish food is magnificent and it’s so much more than just kebab! There are lots of materials and cooking techniques. I think I also get to introduce Turkish cuisine to the world in a fun way.”
