I found a website recently that is a wonderful illustration of why you 
shouldn't trust translation software too much.  It's at:
http://www.mediasoft.it/cucina/index_en.html

Some of the ingredients in the recipes include:
trance of fish sword or fresh tuna
parsley minced elegantly
parmigiano scratched fresh
black pepper ground of coolness 
1 ctav  of minced fresh sage or 1 ctes of annoyed sage
150 g of integral flour
2 eggs slightly wisecracks
3 peeled and squeezing bananas
1 peeled great orange, bald and affected slightly


Recipe instructions include these:

"To use another bowl to climb on margarine together with the 
sugar."

"To plunge the tortellini in 3 liters water in ebullition with 1/2 
teaspoon of salt. To taste 2 minutes after the resumption of the 
excitement of the water."

"When they become crispusing a punctured spoon to throw the 
bacon out from the frying pan and to drain them on an absorbent 
paper."

"we mix desultorily"

"Insert the fillet abandoned on an oven baking-pan and covered 
completely of batter."

"To take a casserole, to fill it of water and behavior to boil."


It's hilarious, but it's also a pity that the recipes are so garbled, 
because many of them look very tasty.
