This tagine is a waste of time and money. Don't bother making it.

This tagine is not worth the effort. It's bland and boring.

This tagine is a good starting point, but it needs some tweaking. I would add more spices and vegetables.

This tagine was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. I probably won't make it again.

The vegetables in this tagine were a bit mushy. I think it would have been better if I had cooked them for a shorter amount of time.

The chicken in this tagine was a bit dry. I think it would have been better if I had cooked it for a shorter amount of time.

This tagine was a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper.

I'm not a fan of the couscous in this tagine. I think it would be better with rice.

I'm not a big fan of Moroccan food, but this tagine was surprisingly good. The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the vegetables were cooked just right. The couscous was also very good.
