Fathers Day

This year, our immediate family celebrated my father’s Fathers Day on his 92nd year! What a celebration!!

I called upon a lifetime of inspiration from our dear friend, Aurelia Esposito. My dad began taking me to her restaurants in Daytona for as long as I can remember. We lost Aurelia a few years ago, but she and Denise produced a wonderful book of memories and recipes from Aurelia.

This menu is only missing the cup of bean soup Aurelia would have made, but I substituted rosemary cannelloni beans as a side dish. She would approve.

• Roasted shrimp appetizer
• Grouper Aurelia
• Broccoli in garlic sauce
• Aglio & Oleo (garlic & oil pasta)
• Caprese salad
• Choco-hot-pots

Full recipes for each of the above are published separately
