A large, steaming platter of couscous is presented on a grey surface, likely a countertop or table, in what appears to be a kitchen or dining area in Caen, France. The main subject is a round, brown terracotta-style platter with a raised rim, laden with a mound of food. The dish features a base of light-colored, granular couscous, topped and surrounded by a variety of cooked ingredients. These include numerous bright orange, cylindrical chunks of carrots, yellow potato pieces, light yellow-green steamed cabbage leaves, and scattered chickpeas. Darker pieces of cooked meat, consistent with lamb or beef, are interspersed throughout the vegetables and couscous. Visible steam rises from the entire dish, indicating its fresh and hot condition. In the background, to the left, a white bowl holds additional cooked vegetables, specifically orange and yellow pieces, also emitting steam. The background wall is covered with white and black geometric patterned tiles. Various objects are visible on a surface against this tiled wall: a yellow bottle or jug, a clear plastic container with a partial "EMM" label, and another clear container with a white lid. A dark bottle or container is partially visible on the far left. No people or specific actions are depicted.
