Steps:

• For the mustard aioli: Whisk the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, honey and garlic and sprinkle with salt and pepper Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 1 day.
• Meanwhile, for the potatoes: Put the potatoes in a pot and cover with cold water by 2 inches. Add the salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Cook the potatoes until a skewer inserted into the center of each potato meets with some resistance, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain well and cool slightly.
• Preheat the grill to medium for direct heat. Cut the potatoes in half, toss with some of the mustard aioli and sprinkle with salt. Place the potatoes cut-side down on the grill and grill until lightly golden brown, about 3 minutes. Flip the potatoes and grill until golden brown and just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer the potatoes to a platter and sprinkle with the parsley, chives, tarragon, salt and pepper. Serve the potatoes with the remaining mustard aioli.

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Unroll the puff pastry sheets, and place flat on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until puffed and golden brown.
• Break the puff pastry into pieces, and place in a large bowl. Add the raisins, almonds, pine nuts, pistachios, and coconut, and toss to distribute. Pour into a 9x13 inch glass baking dish, and spread evenly.
• Pour the milk into a saucepan, and stir in the sugar and vanilla. Heat until hot but not quite boiling. Pour over the mixture in the baking dish.

If the aioli gets thicker than you like, add a few drops of water.
