I was looking for something different for lunch and tried this. I love the combination of sweet raisins and crunch nuts with the couscous! I was thinking it is almost a dessert. Thanks so much for sharing, this is exactly what I wanted. Wendy

I live in Australia, in the Blue Mountains (a national park the size of Belgium) and I really enjoy all things to do with food (especially the eating part). I used to work in theatre and casting in the UK, but now work in an antique/discerning junk shop in Australia. I enjoy collecting out of print and old church cook books and have way too many. I can't stand bad traffic, people who sniff, or white plastic garden furniture! If I had a month off I would most likely be asleep a lot of the time or eating dark chocolate, but If I had absolutely no responsibilities, you could find me at the Musee D'Orsay in Paris looking at the pictures.
