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.

Rarely has so little work been rewarded with so much flavour. Of course, you can use an Italian red wine, but I find it works just as well with a good Pinot Noir or a New World Merlot.

1 bottle of good fruity red wine
6 large, slightly underripe peaches, halved and stoned
50g/2oz caster sugar

Slice the peaches thinly. Place in a large bowl, sprinkle with sugar and pour over wine. Leave overnight in the fridge. Bring to room temperature for two hours before serving. Eat, ladled into wine glasses, on a sunny day.

'Tony and Giorgio', is published by 4th Estate, priced £20
