		<title>Food, Cancer &amp; World War II</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The years around World War II (WWII) were a turning point in the history of our well being. And in the decades that followed&#8211;the sixty-plus years that constitute most or all of a lifetime for a majority of us&#8211;we have been living a large and uncontrolled experiment. One result  has been skyrocketing rates of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cancer-Fighting Green Tea</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Green tea is thought to be a cancer-fighting powerhouse. This is because it has antioxidants, called polyphenols, that reduce the growth of new blood cells that are needed for cancer to grow and spread; polyphenols also encourage the natural death of cancer cells.  Green tea is also a powerful detoxifier, activating liver enzymes that remove [...]]]></description>

		<title>Living Foods</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We are all made up of trillions of living microorganisms. Although it may sound surprising, this is good news. We need these microorganisms to keep us alive and well: They live inside our bodies and on our bodies, and the largest colonies reside in the digestive tract, which is the core of our immune system.

		<title>Homemade Yogurt</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yield: 1 quart
There are two simple steps to making homemade yogurt. The first is to heat the milk and then partly cool it. The second is to ferment the milk for a period of hours. All varieties of milk&#8211;sheep, cow, or goat&#8211;work for making yogurt, with each providing a slightly different result.
Ingredients
1 quart whole milk [...]]]></description>

		<title>Feeding Children</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For those of us with children, feeding them may be the most insistent demand we face. The regularity of preparing meals can often seem relentless, and the pressure to put nourishing food on the table for breakfast, lunch and dinner can leave us feeling inadequate.
The fact that feeding a family feels challenging, however, does not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Buckwheat Strawberry Shortcakes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Serves 9
These small cream scones were created by Alice Medrich, and I have adapted the recipe just a bit. They are easy to make and a wonderful way to introduce buckwheat flour into your baking. If you like, you can substitute whole-wheat pastry flour for some of the all-purpose flour&#8211;a change I like to make. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Garlic Scape Soup</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Serves 4-6
This soup recipe, which I&#8217;ve adapted slightly from one included in Heidi Swanson&#8217;s Super Natural Cooking, makes good use of the garlic scapes that crowd farmers&#8217; markets in early spring. If you like soup that has a  rustic texture, there is no need to strain it. But for a finer texture and a more [...]]]></description>

		<title>Asparagus in Bed</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Serves 4
This recipe, which I&#8217;ve tweaked only slightly, comes from Cucina Simpatica, a cookbook written by Johanne Killeen and George Germon. It&#8217;s a delicious addition to a brunch or lunch menu and takes little time to pull together.
Ingredients
2 pounds asparagus, tough ends discarded
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
a sprinkling of coarse or fine sea salt
2 tablespoons [...]]]></description>

		<title>No-Knead Whole-Grain Pizza Crust</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Makes 2 pizzas
This is a very special pizza crust. It’s easy to make; it also tastes good, handles well, and has, for me, moved pizza out of the ranks of ambitious undertakings and into the realm of food that works when there’s little time to spare. You will not miss the white flour that’s included [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bold Baking #1: Using Whole-Grain Flour</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To bake boldly is to push limits; to wonder, and then try out new possibilities; and to believe&#8211;to know&#8211;that baked goods don&#8217;t need to be made from refined sugar, white flour and poor-quality fats to taste great. Baking with more healthful ingredients is easy to do, whether you bake once a year or every week, [...]]]></description>
