One of my most favourite foods is cous cous, I quite simply love the stuff. Usually I have just plain cous cous as a meal accompaniment and I really enjoy it but I have had the odd Ainsley Harriot offering and so when I spotted a range of his cous cous's in my local B & M store I picked up a couple in each flavour and the one I have just eaten and so am reviewing here, now is the lemon, mint & parsley cous cous. The Packaging: This comes in a silver foil sachet that is black on the outside of it with a photograph of the cous cous on the front made up and a picture of Ainsley Harriot and in white and bright green writing we are told that it ...  Read the complete review

Cous Cous originates from North Africa and is made from semolina flour. It looks a bit like rice but has fewer calories and although filling i find it less bloating than rice and with less than 2% fat it is pretty healthy. Cous Cous is also very versatile as it can be eaten hot or cold, on its own as a snack or for lunch, or as a side dish at tea time. It goes with most things: potatoes, meat, fish and vegetables. It is either sold plain or in different flavours. Ainsley Harriott is a chef and well known television personality. His packs of cous cous can be found in most supermarkets and are suitable for vegetarians. A full list of ingredient ...  Read the complete review

I will be reviewing Ainsley Harriott's "Spice Sensation" Cous Cous. A couple of years ago I had never tasted and eaten cous cous. It was one of those food types that I assumed only the extremely healthly ate due possibly to its nutritional benefits, or calorie content (not that I really had any idea!). It wasn't the type of food I got bought up on, with my parents favouring very traditional British food. However, after being pursuaded into trying it by my partner whilst I was on a diet, I came to realise how versatile and geat cous cous could be! I have tried a few variations of cous cous in terms of flavourings, from plain unflavoured ...  Read the complete review

While walking around the supermarket lately I've noticed that I keep bumping into Ainsley Harriott ( well not literally!!) as he seemed to be very popular a few years back when he was on the telly all the time with his cooking programmes like Ready, Steady, Cook and Can't Cook Won't Cook. I believe he is still making Ready Steady Cook and is in fact just finished recording his new series for 2009/2010 which will be his fifteenith year in the limelight of TV. He did start of as being the Head Chef of the Long Room at Lords Cricket Ground many, many years ago and certainly knows a thing or two about cooking. So when you see his face on any products you can ...  Read the complete review

I first discovered this Cous Cous at a BBQ and from my first taste I was hooked. I can be a bit of a health freak and love finding yummy foods that I can eat quite a bit of without feeling as guilty as I always do after eating a huge chocolate bar or bowl of chips. As a student I am also very keen to find easy to cook meals that aren't too expensive and so, after purchasing my own sachet of Ainsley Harriott Cous Cous, my obsession with Cous Cous began. So what is Cous Cous? ********************** Cous Cous is a traditional food from North Africa and is made of ground hard wheat. To the eye, Cous Cous looks like tiny grains which are hard until cooked ...  Read the complete review
