3971.0. "Joyce Chen, RIP" by GEMGRP::gemnt3.zko.dec.com::Winalski (Careful with that AXP, Eugene) Thu Aug 25 1994 22:41

Joyce Chen, restaurateur, grocer, and cook book author, died 
yesterday.  She was in her 70s.  Through her restaurant, cooking 
classes, oriental grocery stores, and PBS cooking shows, she 
introduced many in the Boston area and elsewhere to the joys of 
Mandarin and Sichuan Chinese food and cooking, many years before the 
Sichuan food fad hit New York.  It was one episode of her PBS series 
"Joyce Chen Cooks", on how to grow your own bean sprouts and what to 
do with them afterwards, that got me started in cooking, and her cook 
book has been a valuable kitchen companion.

    Whenever we used to eat at her restaurant she always came by the table
    before we left and gave my son some extra fortune cookies in a bag.
    
    Sorry she's gone.  She was a nice lady.
