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.My top table
Frankie’s of Knightsbridge (020-7590 9999). When I come to London I alway seat here. It’s affordable, glamorous and kid-friendly.
Comfort Eating
Fish – whichever way it comes. I’ve been fishing all my life and nothing tastes better to me than fresh pan-fried snapper seasoned with salt – and I add a little finely grated cacao and chilli.
My favourite cookbook
At the moment, it’s Casa Moro, by Sam & Sam Clark – Spanish cooking with Moroccan influence.
The Food Shop I Can't Walk Past
Liberato’s fish shop in Puerto Colombia, Venezuela. There’s always something special and I have to see what he’s got in that day.
What's In My Fridge?
A lot of cream for making truffles and a multitude of vegetables. Truffles are the best way to taste the flavour in cacao and vegetables represent the majority of whatever I'm cooking.
Willie's 100 per cent Venezuelan Black cacao was launched at Selfridges and is now also available at Waitrose
