		<title>Pork with peaches</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

A few days ago I bought some really good peaches and I used some of them for a fruit salad. What could I do with the other peaches? I thought it could be a good idea to use it to cook some pork (I know that pork with apples is really good, so why not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lemon Spaghetti</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

This is a quick tasty pasta. I love to make it with home-made spaghetti, but you can also use Barilla or De Cecco pasta (my favorite brands). Organic lemons are a must, because you need lemon zest (and you know&#8230; lemons that are not organic have a weird wax on their skin. Bleah&#8230;!). I like [...]]]></description>

		<title>My favorite restaurants in the Bay Area</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

After living 2 years in the Bay Area, now I know where I want to go out for dinner.
Other than good fast-food places (like In-n-Out Burger and the Falafel Drive-In), it took me a long time to find good restaurants. Finally, now I know where I would like to have dinner.
My 3 favorite restaurants are:

&#8220;Torcetti piemontesi&#8221; are Italian cookies similar to breadsticks (but covered with sugar). They come from Piemonte, a region (county) of Italy. Their shape is similar to a close &#8220;U&#8221; and they are very crunchy. I really like them! Here is the recipe.

		<title>A pan of Bolognese Lasagna</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

Bolognese Lasagna is a very typical Italian food. It is made of layers of lasagna, bechamel sauce, cheese (optional) and Ragu sauce (it is a sauce made of ground meat, carrots, onion, celery and tomato sauce). You can use the Ragu sauce also to dress any kind of pasta. What I like to do, is [...]]]></description>

My friend Chiara Cabrini (she is a relative of the famous Saint Francis Cabrini) gave me a recipe book as a present. On the first page she wrote the recipe of &#8220;piadina&#8221;, a kind of flat bread very well known in the center of Italy).
In Italy you can buy piadinas at every supermarket, but here [...]]]></description>

&#8220;Strudel&#8221; is a dessert that comes from Austria and it is wonderful to eat it warm after skiing in the mountains. But even if I do not live in the mountains I like to eat it for breakfast or in the afternoon.
