Philippe Etchebest’s couscous does not pass muster

On YouTube and Tiktok, the French starred chef Philippe Etchebest is under fire because of his recipe for couscous, an emblematic dish of North Africa, which obviously has nothing to do with what is prepared in Morocco .

Is the couscous recipe that Philippe Etchebest published on his YouTube channel a hoax? On the web, this recipe from the presenter of the French version of the show “Cauchemar en cuisine” is far from unanimous. Criticisms come from all sides. “Oh, boss!” I adore you and I totally respect you, but no, this is nothing like couscous,” comments a user under the video of the famous chef. Many Internet users have expressed their disappointment.
