This was a waste of time. The couscous was mushy, and the nuts and dates were stale. I wouldn't recommend this recipe to anyone.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. The couscous was cooked well, but the nuts and dates didn't add much flavor. I think this recipe could be improved with the addition of some spices.
