  2. HI Kitty,

    I have your book Cooking at the Kasbah and I took your cooking class at Draegers. I am making a Moroccan dinner using your recipes but am making the chicken with lemon preserves for the mail course. When in Morocco, couscous was served looking like the photo for Couscous Casablanca style (on p 118) but without meat. I would like to make that with only veggies. Do you have any suggestions for changing the recipe ? Would you just boil or roast the veggies in chicken broth and served over the couscous? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
