I'm not sure what went wrong, but my recipe turned out nothing like the picture. It was a complete waste of time and ingredients.

This recipe was a disaster! The couscous was mushy and the vegetables were overcooked. I will never make this recipe again.

I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. I'm not sure if I would make it again.

This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for me. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

The couscous was a bit dry. I think I would add more liquid next time.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would add more spices next time.

I'm not a vegetarian, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The flavors were so good that I didn't even miss the meat. I will definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some zucchini and tomatoes that were about to go bad, so I threw them in this recipe and they turned out great. I will definitely be making this again.
