The Iron Deficient Chef

Join Suzy Spoon and Tracy Smith in Australia for their show The Iron Deficient Chef. It’s a little bit cooking and a little bit learning and a lot bit awesome.

In the latest episode, Not Chickens, we see how to make a curry with Sri Lankan “cooking guru” Kanaga and we learn about the life of “broiler” hens.

Check out more episodes at their website! And for more info about chickens and why we shouldn’t eat them, visit United Poultry Concerns.

    Emily, in Australia we buy soy protein nuggets (awful name for a great product!) at Asian supermarkets in the frozen food section or if the general supermarket is really good, they may be there as well. There are a variety of flavours, just be careful not to get something that really is a frozen meat product - especially if there’s no English description on the packet. And yes, it really is soooo good.

    That looks so good! I wonder if we couldn’t just use the frozen fake chicken instead of the soy nugget?

    *Squish* Thanks for bringing this to my/our attention. It’s great to see something done locally to me!

    I love this show - thanks!

  15. SuzySpoon Says:

    Thanks you guys for watching our show and writing such kind and enthusiastic comments about it. Kanaga’s ‘not chicken’ recipe is very versatile, you can use TVP, seitan, or other sorts of foe chicken if you like. I’ve even made it with mushrooms instead of ‘not chicken’ and its great. xx

    You n Terry have done a real nice job with that book

    Hi all - i’m a new vegan and need help. Where does one buy curry leaves? I live in new mexico, and although we’re a little backwater here, i’m trying to find ways to buy some of these more exotic ingredients. Also, thanks for the awesome cookbooks! Vegan with a vengeance is my new bible. Can’t wait to get Veganomicon!
