Question about code

Hi,
I have a page here here that pulls in the last 10 posts from 2 of my blogs.
The titles have slashes in them. It’s not the WP code, but the code I used to pull them in. I think.
Here’s the code:
Last 10 recipes:

<?php $wpcook = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT ID, post_title FROM wpcookposts WHERE post_status = 'publish' order by post_date desc limit 10");
foreach ($wpcook as $v) {
echo "
ID."'>" . $v->post_title . "
"; } ;?>
Any help in getting rid of the slashes would be great. I tried to put stripslashes in the code, but no luck.
Thanks,
Sara 🙂
