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.

If I wasn't a chef and had to choose which one of those recipes to cook, I'd go for David Cameron's one, as sausage and pasta is quite authentic Tuscan food. It's gutsy and hearty, and you could do it at a dinner party or elsewhere.

Gordon Brown's one is a bit too cordon-bleu cookery school for me, and it's not something that I'd cook. It's a typical dinner party dish I suppose, but wrapping things up in filo pastry is a bit old hat, really.

It's interesting when you think that both of them went for Italian dishes, but perhaps they have Italian connections, I'm not sure. It would have been interesting to guess which of them cooked each recipe, but both of them are good hearty dishes.
