I am on holidays in Brasil in Paraty, which is a beautiful colonial UNESCO Heritage Site on the coast between São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Having lived here for 5 years makes me come back to see and spend some time with my friends. We are only... 26 on holidays together - 8 couples and the rest all children. When we come back from the beach we each take turns to make dinner. Every other day i go to the local food stalls and pick fresh vegetables and fruit and I had a chance to make a couscous salad with a wide variety of fresh produce. I made the couscous as a big salad and served it cold with grilled vegetables and fruit. I picked a HUGE banana leaf (I posted the photo of our group arriving from the beach and me with my banana leaf) and served the Couscous on it - it looked really pretty and fresh. But my camera ran out of battery before I could take the photo of the finished dish so all I have left is the photo I took of the ingredients before I started cooking. I'll try downloading a picture a friend took of the dish afterwards.
