Of late I haven't had much of an appetite. I haven't been really very well at all and I've been a bit stressed out to say the least with preparing to move up north. When you not feeling well you can't be bothered to cook really and so the other day my Mother popped round with some shopping for me. Me and my Mother have very different tastes when it comes to food and I expected a bag of frozen chips and peas and baked beans and what not to pitch up but they didn't thankfully and she had got me plenty of rice and pasta and things that I like and in with that she had picked me up some of Ainsley Harriotts Cous cous cous as she remembered me liking it and treating myself to  Read the complete review

Normally I'm not a huge fan of couscous, particularly not the stuff that comes out of a packet and taste of...absolutely nothing. However, yesterday evening I dug this couscous out of the cupboard. As I was in a bit of a rush the fact that the product takes just minutes to prepare was the major selling point for me. I am now very glad I tried this couscous and will definitely be buying it again. ~What is it?~ This is a savoury couscous that contains chunks of chargrilled peppers, onions and tomatoes. Each packet serves 2 and doesn't contain any artificial preservatives, colours or flavours. It is from Ainsley Harriot's (think Ready, Steady, Cook!) range ...  Read the complete review

Several of you will remember that I posted a review of Ainsley Harriott's Moroccan Medley couscous quite a while ago now, which I really enjoyed and thought was a good buy. I have since gone back to Asda and bought many more of these couscous packets in as many different flavours as I can, and so I thought that I would share my opinions on all of the ones that I've tried. This review is about Ainsley Harriott's Roasted Vegetable Couscous, which is a gorgeous meal that is low in calories and fat. The great thing about this couscous is that it's insanely easy to prepare. All you do is open the sachet, pour the contents into a bowl, add 160ml of boiling ...  Read the complete review

Having joined Slimming World last year ( not for long admittedly!) I came across this product as it was recommended by the group for being low in fat and quite a tasty snack. I bought a pack of 2 sachets which at the time were on offer in my local supermarket, although even at full price these are not expensive approx £1.60 I think. It couldn't be simpler to make, place the contents into a bowl and add 160ml of boiling water and stir well. Leave to stand for about 5 minutes so the cous cous soaks up all the water and then fluff it up with a fork. You can even add butter or olive oil to it if you desire. The roasted vegetable one contains ...  Read the complete review

Roasted Vegetable Cous Cous- Yummy! I am on a diet after putting on around 6 pound over Christmas0 crazy I know! I put on weight really fast even though I do quite a lot of walking it really annoys me! So, I decided to eat healthy for once. When I went to Morocco they had a really nice Moroccan restaurant in our hotel and I hate a huge plate of cous cous and I loved it! So, I buy this now, as a memory and for the fact that I love it! I actually read someone's review on this and I was tempted to go and buy some then! Cous cous is brilliant because it takes hardly and time to make and I think it is a lot healthier than having rice. Especially this one ...  Read the complete review
