After a glorious summer and fall we had a bit of a rainy day here on Vancouver Island.  With  a shorter greyer

day one feels a definite lack of vitamin D – commonly known as the sunshine vitamin.

But not to worry – just grab a couple of tins of sardines and  Barbara-jo McIntosh’s Tin Fish Gourmet

from Arsenal Pulp Press.  There are 8 recipes for sardines from Curry Sardines on Toast to

Golden Pappardelle with Sardines, Fennel and Saffron. 100 grams ( about eight fish) provide forty percent

of the recommended daily allowance of calcium and 100 percent of vitamin D necessary for its absorption.

So go ahead and soak up your sardines!
