The couscous was a bit overcooked for my taste. I would recommend cooking it for a minute or two less.

I found this dish to be a bit bland. I would recommend adding more spices or herbs to give it more flavor.

This dish is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less apricots or adding some tart fruit, like cranberries, to balance out the sweetness.
