Cansomeone tell me what will happen if I miss out the coconut in a recipe.So many now have it in them and we hate the stuff.Will I just forget it or will I increase the flour a bit

You could substitute ground almonds for the coconut.

I have an old Anzac Biscuit recipe which leaves out coconut and it's much nicer than the coconutty version.Coconut does tend to take over and suppress all the other interesting flavours in baking

I wouldn't increase the flour, or make a substitution, but you might need to decrease the liquid a little because desiccated coconut is VERY dehydrated.

I'd be interested in any suggestions too. Some with a nut allergies can not have coconut either.
