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.

70g/21/2oz buffalo ricotta cheese (or soft goats' cheese)

50g/11/2oz fresh ceps (porcini) or other mushrooms, sliced

Handful radicchio and chicory leaves or other bitter leaves

1 tablespoon Tuscan olive oil

8 borage flowers

4 marigold flowers

Spread out a sheet of clingfilm on a board and brush with oil. Roll the cheese into a cylinder about 20cm long, and chill for five minutes in deep freeze to firm up.

Take another piece of clingfilm and scatter with petals of borage and marigold. Roll cylinder of cheese across them until they stick, and wrap into cylinder. Do not chill, but set aside.

Lightly sautée the ceps in oil. Arrange on plate, heaped with the bitter leaves, brushed with oil. Finally, cut the cheese in half and unroll.
