Tip #1

- Toasting coconut enhances the flavor. Spread coconut in single layer on baking sheet with shallow sides. Bake at 325°F, tossing occasionally, about 10 minutes or until very lightly browned.

Tip #2

- Find fresh lemon grass in the produce section of the grocery store, either individually packaged with other herbs or in bulk amounts.
