I have just signed up for a Hip Cooks class.  Where I will learn to prepare the perfect cocktail party.  You start off learning how to mix a number of beverages.  Hip Cooks claims to provide you with a hands-on cooking class in a relaxed setting.  They ban measurements and encourage tasting to tease your inner chef.  I am don't know if they will be able to tease my inner chef, but I am excited to finally learn how to mix a decent martini all while having fun with my girlfriends.  

My friends and I signed up for the Cocktail Party where we will learn to make a few great beverages:

• The perfect martini
• vanilla martini
• mojito
• caiprinhas
• lemon drops
• + 1 dessert drink

...and some delectable nibbles:

• Candied nuts
• Warm crab dip (I think we get that it would be warm)
• Leak & goat cheese tartlets (love that word)
• Crisp potato cakes w/ goat cheese and thyme
• Endive gorgonzola and roast pear
• Cups w/ caviar, creme fraiche and chive
• Warm goat cheese & nut-stuffed, proscuitto-wrapped dates
• Polenta slices w/ asparagus
• Tuna tartar on cucumber strips w/ wasabi roe
• Dark chocolate hearts w/ rasberry cream

When it is all said and done the class ends with a dinner party and hopefully a designated driver!
