Joyce Chen s slogan Eastern Cookware for the Western Kitchen reflects her focus on providing high-quality versatile tools and products that have Asian flair but can be used in a western kitchen. Joyce Chen opened her first restaurant in Cambridge Massachusetts in 1958. The restaurant flourished and in 1973 a larger Cambridge restaurant was opened. Chen also began writing Chinese cookbooks and in the 1970s began hosting a cooking show on public television. She found that the selection and quality of Chinese cookware in America didn t live up to her high standards¿ so she developed her own. Today Joyce Chen Products come from all over the Pacific Rim to bring the best of Asia to you.
