"Old Florida Style Cookery" By John and Rhonda Maloughney

This cookbook has been created in order to pass along recipes that were collected and used in restaurants my wife, Rhonda, and I have operated over the years. Rhonda and I have lived and worked together for thirty-four years. Once we began working together in restaurants, I found that Rhonda shared the same love I had for the business; making people happy was the driving force.

This collection of recipes represents favorite menu items our customers ordered time and time again. Several area family recipes that have been handed down and shared frequently at family meals. Other recipes were shared with us by our close friends

Our restaurants were located along Florida's east coast from St. Augustine down to Islamorada in the Florida Keys, hence the name "Old Florida Style Cookery". Most of our restaurants specialized mainly in seafood, with some Cajun and Creole thrown in. We've spent time in the Bahamas and in Jamaica researching good things to eat and how to properly prepare them.

We hope you will enjoy our recipes as much as we have over the years.
