This recipe is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I added some chopped carrots, celery, and peas, and it turned out really well. The toasted couscous was a nice change from the usual rice or pasta.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some chopped fresh herbs and a bit of lemon juice, and it really helped to brighten up the dish. I think it would also be good with some grilled chicken or fish.

This recipe is a great way to get kids to eat healthy. My kids love the sweet raisins and crunchy almonds, and they don't even realize they're eating couscous! I usually serve it as a side dish, but it's also great as a snack.

This recipe was a disaster! The couscous was mushy, the raisins were hard, and the almonds were burnt. I don't know what went wrong, but I definitely won't be making this recipe again.

Not bad! I made this recipe for a potluck, and it was well-received. The couscous was light and fluffy, and the almonds and raisins added a nice touch of sweetness. I think it would have been even better with a bit of lemon zest or juice.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover couscous. I added some chopped fresh parsley and mint, and it really brightened up the dish. Next time, I'll try adding some dried cranberries or apricots for a bit of extra sweetness.

Meh. It was okay, but I wasn't blown away. The couscous was a bit dry, and the raisins were too sweet for my taste. I think I'll stick to my usual rice pilaf recipe.

Easy to make and delicious! I used slivered almonds instead of whole almonds, and it still turned out great. The raisins added a nice sweetness, and the cinnamon and nutmeg gave it a warm, autumnal flavor.

This recipe was a hit! The toasted couscous had a nutty flavor that paired perfectly with the sweet raisins and crunchy almonds. I added a bit of extra cinnamon and nutmeg, and it turned out amazing. Definitely a keeper!
