About the Author:
Chef Katie Chin
was born and raised in Minneapolis by her award winning restaurateur mother, Leeann Chin. As a schoolgirl, Katie assisted in her mother's catering jobs and, later, worked in the restaurants. She used her mother's first cookbook to give dinner parties in her dorm room in college. But as a time-pressed adult, Katie adopted the contemporary cuisine of her peers—restaurant food, takeout and Haagen Dazs. Until her mother intervened: "If you go to a restaurant and sit down, it's two hours!" Leeann told her daughter. "In that time you could make something healthy!” Feeling inspired and back in touch with her culinary roots, Katie quit her job as a film and television marketing executive to run her catering company, Double Happiness Catering. Specializing in Pan-Asian cuisine, Katie catered many celebrity-studded events for the high fashion and entertainment industries.

Based in Los Angeles, Katie divides her time as a private chef, throwing karaoke dinner parties and caring for her toddler twins. Katie shares a passion for Asian cuisine, style and culture and is committed to teaching the American public that the very best Asian cooking can be achieved in a real home kitchen, by real people, on real schedules.
