Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Once you get into cooking risotto, it's simple. I live some of the year in San Francisco and this is my speciality recipe. Get yourself a crab – with nice firm meat, like a Dungeness type-crab – and clean the shell, 'cos you want to use it for stock. Simmer it with white wine for about an hour. Use arborio rice and toast it over a hob with garlic and onions before adding the stock, with a little cream to help it emulsify. Add the crab, and a small tin of crushed pineapple, and finish with a healthy squirt of Sriracha – a hot Indonesian/Thai sauce.
This is great the next day too, when it has an especially thick texture. Is there a link between music and cooking? There's a greater parallel between music and computer programming, that's for sure.
