Here's what's cooking around town today...
Is your processed food too salty? It's you own darned fault for liking it that way, say manufacturers. [Globe and Mail]

Recapping the Eating Words panel discussion on food writing. [The Cookbook Store]
In the dark grey days of winter, none of us are getting enough Vitamin D. But how much do you need? This piece quotes Health Canada as recommending 200 - 400 IUs per day, but a Google search reveals that 1000 IUs daily is probably better, and I've even seen figures of up to 4000 IUs per day. [Toronto Vegetarian]
You know you're a grown-up when... childhood (processed) comfort foods are not very comforting anymore. [Foodie and the Everyman]
I'm sure there will be many more over the weekend (Ha! See? That's why we did a preview instead!) but the first couple of recaps/reviews of the Gourmet Food and Wine Expo have been posted. [BlogTO] [Sift, Dust and Toss] Incidentally, our favourite highlight of last night's VIP event was the food and wine pairings from "Cafe California" which matched foods (including scallops, rib eye steak and duck breast) by Chef Gordon Mackie (SIR Corp/ Far Niente) with wines from Wente. Best $30 you'll spend all weekend.
And in Food For Thought - when bluefin tuna was for poor people, tough love pie crust, and where ugly photos can get their 15 minutes of fame. [Save Your Fork]
