Can I enjoy this salad cold, or does it need to be heated?

You can enjoy it either way. Many people love it straight from the fridge as a refreshing lunch, especially on warmer days. If you prefer it warm, just microwave for 1–2 minutes until gently heated through.

How is this different from a supermarket couscous salad?

Gavin has cooked in some of Australia’s best fine dining kitchens, and he brings that same care to his home-style meals. The couscous is gently spiced for depth, the pumpkin is roasted until caramelised, and the dressing is made fresh with herbs and citrus – not from a bottle. It’s wholesome, balanced, and layered with textures that make every bite interesting.

Is it filling enough for a whole meal?

Yes – the 350g serve makes a satisfying lunch on its own, with protein from chickpeas, almonds and feta, plus slow-release carbs from couscous. If you’re extra hungry, you can pair it with crusty bread or add grilled halloumi or chicken on top. As a side for two, it complements almost any main course.

Fresh, Wholesome & Full of Flavour, Made by Gavin with Love

This isn’t your average couscous salad. Gavin combines fluffy, fragrantly spiced couscous with chickpeas, roasted pumpkin, a touch of sweet apricot and a vibrant green herb and citrus dressing. To finish, it’s sprinkled with crunchy roasted almonds and creamy feta creating a dish that’s nourishing, satisfying and full of flavour.

It’s wonderfully versatile too. Enjoy it as a quick and healthy lunch for one, or share it as a side with dinner for two. You can warm it gently in the microwave or simply enjoy it at room temperature, either way, it’s bright, balanced and delicious. Like all of Gavin’s food, it reflects his philosophy: wholesome, unpretentious meals that are made with care and fresh seasonal produce, designed to be enjoyed by the whole family.

Growing up, I was always cooking and creating in the kitchen with my mother, growing fresh produce in our garden, experimenting with dishes at home, and was brought up eating kale, spinach and humous before they were well-known foods!
I have cooked in some of the best fine dining restaurants in Australia, but at home, and as a father of three, my food is all about comfort food that is unpretentious, wholesome, nutritious, and that the whole family can share. I love cooking with the best seasonal and local fresh produce and being able to transform this into something healthy and super tasty for everyone to enjoy.
