Ed & Nora Pankonin came to New Smyrna Beach for a short visit and fell in love with the area.
The Simple and Fresh cooking school, born from the publishing of Ed's cookbopok, Simple & Fresh - A Century of Traditional Italian Recipes, is a "hands on" cooking school that actually shows the techniques used in preparing Italian cuisine. They have traveled extensively through Italy where there are many such schools. They wanted to create that Italian atmosphere where students come to the villa and set up in the kitchen next to the teacher.
Their recipes were passed down from generation to generation. Nora took over the duty of preserving these treasured recipes and has honed her skills in producing perfect dishes. Now they want to share these beloved recipes with you. Come join in on these unique cooking classes and begin to master the skills and techniques of old world Italian cooking.
Our cooking school offers encapsulated one day courses. Each class is complete as offered. You may sign up to take several courses or attend just one. We do offer a special discount for the students who sign up for a series of classes.
Each class is a total "hands on" experience. You will participate in the planning and preparation of each class instruction. We conduct classes during the week - evenings from 6pm to 9:30pm and on Saturdays from 9am to 12pm.
We also offer private classes in your home for your group. These private classes can also be used as fundraisers for your groups. Call for rates and class sizes.
We will continue to have modular classes and will offer specialty classes that are exciting "old world" Italian favorites. An example being our four-course Trottoria dinner that offers traditional Italian cooking - Simple and Fresh!
The class size at the school has a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 10 participants.
