What is Iron Deficient Chef?
Iron Deficient Chef is an internet based vegetarian cooking programme made by Suzy Spoon & Tracy Smith.
Tracy and Suzy started pre production in July 2007 and launched the site on 5th April 08. They transformed Suzy’s grandma’s double garage into a production office come studio where they make most of the show. Some of the cooking segments were shot with a crew of 8 people in a friend’s industrial kitchen in Alexandria. Each episode goes for 5 minutes and covers topics such as ethical eating and vegan cooking techniques.
“It’s a pretty bad situation for most factory
farmed animals especially pigs, ducks and chickens and nobody seems to care.
Some farmers should be ashamed of themselves. It’s not OK and it has
to stop. There are humane ways of farming and profit should not be the only
goal.”
Spoon
about Tracy Smith
Tracy's interest in the arts and food took up a different spin when she teamed up with Suzy to help give rise to... Iron deficient Chef.
Tracy grew up in the small country town of Glentunnel, just out of Christchurch New Zealand. She studied Travel and tourism before venturing to Australia in 1999. She then worked in catering for several years where she developed a passion for food.
Combining this passion with the editing skills later attained from North Sydney college, Tracy's freelance editing experience, quirky sense of humour and ability to be 10 people at once are invaluable in this uniquely styled cooking show.
