    Bad
    This recipe is horrible. The couscous turns into mush and it has no flavor. Don't waste your time or money on this one. Move along. - 3/9/12

    Good
    This was pretty good. The couscous gets a mushy consistency, although still tastes good...if you like couscous for it's fluffy consistency you might be disapointed with this. I did add Cumin and a pinch of Ginger and doubled the amount of couscous, which only adds 50 cal per serv - 7/8/09
