I was inspired by Liz to make sous vide orange curd. To me, this is going to be the only recipe I use in future as the result was a perfectly smooth curd.
Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Sous Vide Orange Curd ♥
Social media can be extremely destructive. When we decided to travel to Croatia on Turkish Airlines I started following them on Facebook. I did this so that I would know of any specials. But when March came around and there still had been none, we decided to just go ahead and book our flights. I waited for my credit card to roll over and then booked our tickets. I sorted out our travel insurance and had all of this filed away before the world went into lockdown. With flights being cancelled every day all I could see on Turkish Airlines were comments from people begging for their refunds. This left me quite worried that if push came to shove and we had to cancel, we would be out of pocket. Despite being covered by our policy, I had not extended the amount to cover the full cost.

Well, my experience has been nothing short of fantastic. Last Monday I called to cancel our flight and was offered a full refund in cash, airmiles, or a voucher for the value of our ticket plus an extra 15%. Knowing prices may increase when travel resumes, I took the voucher. I then enquired about our seat purchase and was informed that the system was not working. But that I could complete the feedback from on the website and I would be refunded. I must say, I was a little bit sceptical. But I went ahead and completed the form. That afternoon I was sent an email with my options. And an extremely sincere apology which was unexpected. The following morning I responded. Four days later we received our vouchers, with added value. To me this was phenomenal service and has given me confidence to rebook our flights.

Which options would you have gone for, the refund, airmiles or the voucher with added value?
A great way to make curd. I’ll be giving this a try. Glad to hear you had a favorable out come with Turkish Airlines.
Let me know how it works for you 🙂
Turkish Airlines seems to understand how customer service is supposed to work.
For sure that was the case with us.
Orange curd sounds very delicious. I don’t have a sous vide cooker, but I’ve figured out how to make similar dishes in the microwave oven, which is much quicker than the double boiler method.
be well… mae at maefood.blogspot.com
That sounds interesting Mae.
That looks delicious. I did buy lemons yesterday to make my lemon curd.. I give jars for christmas.. 😉
What a lovely gift.
We’ve only just started using a sous vide cooker and we’re loving it!
So glad to hear that!
Tandy I don’t have a sous vide, although I am a food blogger ?? I should try your orange curd in the microwave though, it looks delicious.
The microwave is a great way to make curd 🙂
