As a cookbook author and a casablancaise, thank you for bringing my favorite food to the forefront, once again. I am the author of the book, Couscous: Fresh and Flavorful Contemporary Recipes (Chronicle Books, 1999, now out of print). May I add one of my pet peeves to this: Westerners from OUTSIDE North Africa persist in referring to the traditional keskes (Arabic for couscous pot) by the French couscoussière (in the feminine). Any North African worth his/her salt will tell you that couscoussier (still in French) is masculine! Merci and Bismillah, Kitty More, author Cooking at the Kasbah: Recipes from my Moroccan Kitchen What an informative blog!
