Looking for a book

Not for me, for a friend for Christmas. I am looking for a sardine cookbook. Does anyone know of any? I hit amazon.com but am not coming up with much there, in english anyways. Any help would be much appreciated. My other option, I guess, would be to compile a bunch of sardine recipies and bind it myself.

 

Not only do I not know where to find one, I can't imagine anyone writing or publishing one, either.

 

Open can of sardine. Place on burner. Heat until warm through.
That's Depression-era, old-school good.
(Also good for kippers.)

 

Ingredients: 1 box Saltine crackers
1 can sardines

Place sardines on crackers. Eat.

 

Are you talking about fresh sardines or those ones in the can?

In any case, I doubt one exists--at least in English. But there may be recipes in a seafood cookbook

 

I just assumed the question was about canned sardines.
For fresh sardines there should be an abundance of recipes.

 

Either or. The more I look, the more I think I may be relegated to hitting the internet and compiling seperate recepies into my own book. May not look as professional, but I think it would have the same effect.

It might be hard to find a book specifically for just sardines, but any Italian or Portguese cookbook is going to have some.

 

Beef, phone The Cookbook Store in Toronto.

It's simply one of the best cookbook stores in North America and the folks there really know their stuff.

If one exists they'll know about it and if one doesn't, they may be able to offer suggestions for other cookbooks with recipes.

And they have a toll-free number so it won't cost you anything to call from the boonies.

 

Awesome, thanks JR.

 

That look like a cool site, JR. I'm going to forward that to a friend who is into cookbooks.

 

I know the woman who owns the store fairly well.

She knows her stuff inside out. Besides, any store specializing in cookbooks that has THIS in stock has pretty much everything.
