The saffron couscous was delicious! The only thing I would change is to use a little less salt. Other than that, it was perfect.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more salt and pepper, and maybe some additional spices. Otherwise, it was a good starting point for a saffron couscous dish.
