Goin' Coconuts

As with some of my other pages, those recipes that have been tasted tested are marked with
Coconut is a really versatile fruit, noramlly we think of dessert based recipes, but some of my favourite curries also include coconut as do many other dishes from a wide variety of nationalities. This page focuses on the dessert aspect, but I've tried to include links to other uses for coconut as well. If you have others that you would like to share, please drop a line
and I'll add it as soon as I can.

Happy cooking !
