France and Italy meet to defend "made in Europe"
The two countries' ministers are also expected to discuss automotive issues, with the "shared objective" of "strengthening demand for clean vehicles with European content," and to tackle the question of "European preference," for example in public procurement. "Italy is moving closer and closer to France on a number of positions," said Parisian representatives, referring again to nuclear power, which Italy wants to revive. Italy also advocates, like France, that nuclear power should be treated in a similar way to renewable energies in European legislation. "The issue of competitiveness and technological neutrality is one of the subjects on which we agree with the Italians," added the French ministers' offices. Thursday's meeting in Paris will take place as part of the Quirinal Treaty, signed between the two countries in 2021. The treaty includes annual meetings between French and Italian ministers.

A parmesan crust gives this tomato grilled cheese a flavor boost
Even in its most basic form — white sandwich bread and a slice or two of American cheese — the grilled cheese is a thing of wonder. Similarly, the Southern tomato sandwich is a beloved summer staple with fans not only from the region but all over the country. So why not combine the two icons to create something even greater than the sum of its parts? That's the thinking behind this parmesan-crusted grilled cheese sandwich with tomato. Get the recipe: Parmesan-Crusted Grilled Cheese With Tomato It's got the best of both worlds: Gooey cheese and juicy tomatoes encased in buttery, toasty bread form a textural wonderland. Plus, cheese and tomatoes are a dynamic flavor duo. The Italians are widely known for pairing the two in pizza, caprese, baked ziti and any number of the red sauce pastas with cheese. I can never forget the Tik Tok-famous baked feta pasta. And then there's the classic soup and sandwich combo: tomato soup and grilled cheese. The pairing works so well because the acidity of the tomatoes balances the richness of the cheese, and both are packed with umami. You could simply slip a slice or two of tomato into your standard grilled cheese and be a very happy camper. (Just don't forget to season the produce with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.) But what takes this combo to the next level is the salty, savory parmesan crust on the outside of the bread. It's a quick way to add extra flavor and fun to this — or any — sandwich. If we're being honest, crispy is the best form of cheese. Think of the edge of the lasagna pan, or when you're making a quesadilla and some of the cheese crisps up as it makes direct contact with the skillet. With any sandwich — even a basic turkey or a diner-style club — this one extra step is worth it for the amazing crunch factor. (Other easy ways to elevate a sandwich include layering in potato chips for added crunch or sliced fruit for a sweet surprise.) During the summer, and this one in particular, I want to lean into simple meals that are full of flavor. Doing so means less time in the kitchen and more time outdoors connecting with family and friends. This melty sandwich delivers not only on that front, but it also brings a bit of joy to the table. I dare you not to have a smile on your face after taking a bite of this grilled cheese and tomato sandwich. Get the recipe: Parmesan-Crusted Grilled Cheese With Tomato

France and Italy meet to defend "made in Europe"
France's finance minister Eric Lombard and industry minister Marc Ferracci will meet with Italy's business minister Adolfo Urso in Paris on Thursday to seek an "aligned position" on European industry. The two countries will seek to boost endangered sectors and defend "made in Europe." "The aim with the Italians is to rally them to the fight to protect European industries, so that we can jointly take it [the issue] to Brussels with them," the offices of the two French ministers told the press. Among the issues to be raised on Thursday is the question of European steel. The survival of the European steel industry is, according to Paris, threatened by "exacerbated" or even "unfair" competition from China and the US. The European Commission has said it intends to present a legislative proposal in September to reduce steel imports into Europe by up to 50% through various trade measures, which France is defending. The two countries' ministers are also expected to discuss automotive issues, with the "shared objective" of "strengthening demand for clean vehicles with European content," and to tackle the question of "European preference," for example in public procurement. "Italy is moving closer and closer to France on a number of positions," said Parisian representatives, referring again to nuclear power, which Italy wants to revive. Italy also advocates, like France, that nuclear power should be treated in a similar way to renewable energies in European legislation. "The issue of competitiveness and technological neutrality is one of the subjects on which we agree with the Italians," added the French ministers' offices. Thursday's meeting in Paris will take place as part of the Quirinal Treaty, signed between the two countries in 2021. The treaty includes annual meetings between French and Italian ministers. Giorgia Meloni and Emmanuel Macron displayed their "shared commitment" and "strong convergences" during a long tête-à-tête in Rome in early June. The meeting was held in part to dispel the tensions of recent weeks, which have been amplified since Donald Trump 's return to the White House.
