A couscous salad from Cooking for Mr. Latte

I have worked my way through Amanda Hesser's Cooking for Mr. Latte more than five times. Each time I read it, I dog ear a few more recipes that I think would be good to try. A couple of weeks ago, I had some friends over for dinner and while most of it was potluck, I took responsibility for the main course (baked salmon) and a side. I chose to make the couscous dish that Mr. Latte makes for Amanda when they are first dating, having both read and drooled over the recipe on more than once occasion.

It turned out perfectly, and I'm planning on keeping it in mind for all those summer picnics and rooftop potlucks that pop up throughout the warmer season. It also has the added benefit of keeping well (we ate it happily for the three days it took to use it all up). Check out the recipe after the jump.

Cooking for Mr. Latte, Cookbook of the Day

Amanda Hesser's Cooking for Mr. Latte isn't entirely a cookbook. It's a collection of articles that Ms. Hesser wrote for the New York Times about her courtship with the man who became her husband. They are all charming, appealing essays and at the end of each one (this is where the cookbook part comes in), she includes the three or four recipes that she mentioned in the text of the piece.

I've read this book at least four times and each time through, I've dog-ear a couple of recipes that sound particularly tasty. I've only gotten around to making a few of them (all of my cookbooks are bookmarked and written in, which makes it hard to get to everything that sounds good) but the ones I've tried have been wonderful (I love her mother's Chocolate Dump-It Cake).
