  1. Hi Bridget,

    This recipe brought back memories of a 'French Bole' my nana used to make when I was a kid. It used to be made with semolina and she would add coconut ground on the grinding stone of those days. Have been looking for the recipe with coconut, but without success. Would you know it by any chance?

    Venita.
