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.

OK - I must admit that I have gone a bit off course here recommending raspberries in February. It goes against the seasonal approach, but we're all Europeans and part of a common market, aren't we?

OK - I must admit that I have gone a bit off course here recommending raspberries in February. It goes against the seasonal approach, but we're all Europeans and part of a common market, aren't we? Anyway in Spain the seasons for fruit and vegetables begin a touch earlier than ours due to the climate. Back in December I observed a diner next to me in Joël Robuchon's Atelier in Paris, eating these amazing looking, plump wild strawberries. The waiter informed me they were from Malaga where I suppose they are a few months ahead of us, and with not enough mouths to feed them to, so why not export a few? Although I did think December was just a tad early for those little delicacies. Oh, so what, it's Valentine's Day, can't we break the rules for once?

150g raspberries
1 large egg yolk
2tbsp Masala
1tsp caster sugar

To make the zabaglione, put the egg yolks, Masala and sugar in a stainless or Pyrex bowl. Place it over a pan of gently simmering water and whisk for 2-3 minutes until the mixture is thick and frothy, then remove from the heat. Arrange the raspberries on one or two plates, depending how you are getting on at this stage and spoon the zabaglione over them. Unlike the rest of the meal you will need a spoon to eat this with.
