The Cous Cous is cooked after standing for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork, then add the other ingredients and it is table-ready, either warm or cold. Absolutely no need to bake it. Other good additions are Feta cheese and toasted pine nuts (pignoli, also known as pinoli). Enjoy.

I agree with Akrotiri's review of 3/10/08. Authentic British Mushy Peas are made from dried split peas, soaked overnight in water with 2 tsp. of baking soda - follow Akrotiri's recipe. They have their own unique taste and lend themselves to additions of butter, half-and-half, mint and/or malt vinegar. Mushy Peas are part of my fond memories of growing up in England years ago. My American born husband found the dried pea recipe "interesting;" he preferred the frozen pea recipe.
