San Remo’s brand ambassador Adam Swanson, owner and executive chef of Zucca at Holdfast Shores in Adelaide says that couscous is a light and refreshing summer meal for the family.
It is extremely versatile and really does go with anything which is always a great basis for a family meal. The added bonuses of 98% fat free, made in Australia and 5 minute cooking time just make it that much more appealing. It is also a great source of fibre.
