The other night I passed Hipcooks (4048 30th St) in North Park. It looked like a clean, well lighted space, and a small group of aproned people had gathered around a table to listen to instructions. I actually thought, I want to do this, before my husband chimed in and said, "Let's do that sometime."
A Hipcooks class begins as an intimate cooking lesson based on a planned menu, and ends with a wine tasting and dinner party with the class. This Saturday, June 9 from 2 to 5 p.m., Hipcooks teaches Thai One On. Curries, spring rolls, chicken satay, and coconut sticky rice with shrimp are a few menu items in this Thai immersion class. Upcoming classes include Romantic Dinner for Two (pumpkin, garlic sage risotto; creme brulee), A Cocktail Party (warm goat cheese wrapped dates; endives stuffed with gorgonzola and roast pear), and Thrill of the Grill (Gazpacho Andaluz; grilled pork loin with pomegranate sauce).

The classes are open to all skill levels, but on Tuesday, June 19 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m., Cooking 101 will teach students how to fix affordable and quick main courses. The menu includes carrot and ginger soup, mini pizzas, pasta, lentils with orange roughy, and pear galette.
