This really lives up to the name! The only thing I'm NOT crazy about is the instruction for cooking the couscous. I knew that it needed some more flavour - so I added 1/2 tsp dried thyme, and 1/4 tsp garlic powder. I will definately use this recipe again, but plan on adding some roasted red bell pepper for a pop of colour. I used a ring mold for the presentation. This is restaurant worthy w/ the right seasonings!

Followed directions, but it tasted bland to us. Might make again but would add a lot more ingredients.

I thought this was okay, but the kids hated it.

My husband and I loved this. My kids had a hard time with the texture, but I love the texture of couscous.

This was my first try for couscous, so maybe not a fair review, but I thought it would be alot better than it was.

Originally when I read this recipe along with the reviews I was super excited to give it a try. All the ingredients in this recipe, I love on their own. After following the recipe I was left with a gluey mass that ruined the light fluffy nature of the couscous. The flavors were bland and tasted like nothing more than a diluted version of cream corn. The color was yellow, just yellow.... I will not make this again.

This was pretty good. It was my first time trying couscous so did not know what to expect. I think it was a lot like a spoonbread.

This side dish is awesome. I may have added a little more cheese, you can never have too much cheese, but other than that I followed the recipe exactly.

I made a few modifications: used whole kernal corn, drained, because I didn't have any cream style on hand. Also used the Roasted Garlic and Olive oil couscous so I didn't add any additional salt. The family ate it up, and asked for more, so next time I'll double the recipe.
