This dish was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.

This dish was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used fewer golden raisins.

I thought this dish was just okay. The couscous was a bit bland and the garbanzo beans were a bit too firm. I think I would have liked it better if I had used a different type of bean, such as black beans or kidney beans.
