Double happiness

Leeann and Katie Chin, the mother-daughter hosts of the PBS series "Double Happiness" will hold a cooking demonstration at 11 a.m. next Wednesday at the Sub-Zero/Wolf Showroom.

Their appearance is one in a series of free demonstrations planned to mark the first anniversary of the showroom.

Chef Carol Nardello will continue the demonstrations at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. May 6, 9 and 10, preparing recipes from the Chins' cookbook, "Everyday Chinese Cooking" (Clarkson Potter 2000).

Leeann Chin is the chef/owner of 47 restaurants and grocery stores in the Midwest, under the name Leeann Chin Chinese Cuisine. Her daughter teamed up with her to form Double Happiness Catering in Los Angeles and to create the cooking show, which was filmed in a private home in Honolulu.

In their demonstration they will make several types of dim sum and Firecracker Shrimp. Nardello's demonstrations will feature Stir-Fried Chicken with Red Curry Sauce, Honey Barbecued Pork and Beef Chow Fun.

All the one-hour demonstrations are limited to 25 people, so reservations are required. Call 597-1647 by Monday.
