The couscous was a bit overcooked for my taste. I think I would cook it for a shorter amount of time next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit too oily. I think I would reduce the amount of olive oil next time.

This couscous dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning or some additional vegetables.
