I'd like to introduce a musical term to my recipe book - Variations on a Theme.

Whole symphonies are constructed on this basis and so why not a recipe book?

The theme today is Coconut Patties.  For each of the following variations the basic recipe is the same and the additions are what makes them exciting.
