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.In my home, the kitchen, living room and outside space are joined together. Cooking is central to how I live and I find it interesting to see others when they're preparing food, dining and socialising at home. Architecturally, it's important - it brings people together. It provides a chance to sit and talk.
That said, I can't claim to be a brilliant cook. I'm not one who usually tends to follow recipes, but my mother wrote a cookbook that was never published, and this is one of hers. I just call it The Fish Recipe. It's dead easy and requires only a few simple ingredients. Whenever I'm stuck for something to cook friends, it's always reliable. At the last minute, I'll think, I know, I'll do The Fish Recipe.
You should seek out sustainable fish for this - try looking at www.mcsuk.org for a list of good and bad species. I've just launched a cutting-edge environmental design firm called Ecocentric ( www.ecocentric.co.uk), so in that spirit, please don't use over-fished varieties.
2 fillets of white fish that's sustainable (not cod - try pollack)
4tbsp mayonnaise
2tbsp natural yoghurt
1 onion
1 red pepper
Salt and pepper
A little butter
Preheat the oven to 180C/gas mark 4. Chop the onion and pepper mix them together with the mayonnaise, yoghurt and seasoning. Grease a baking dish with the butter and place the fish fillets in it. Cover with the yoghurt mixture and bake it for half an hour, until it's brown on top.
This is best served with garlic fried potatoes and petits pois, or maybe steamed broccoli.
Ecocentric is at the Ideal Home Show, Earls Court 2, London SW5, until tomorrow
