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.

I like to cook scrambled eggs very slowly over a low heat. Instead of washing the mushrooms, wipe them gently or you will wash away most of the flavour.

For the eggs

8 large free-range eggs
3-4tbsp of cold, unsalted butter
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 clove of garlic

For the girolle

250g/8oz girolles, wiped clean
20g/3/4oz unsalted butter
A squeeze of lemon juice
1 clove of garlic
1 tbsp of chopped flat-leaf parsley
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Beat the eggs with a few slivers of butter and a pinch of salt. Melt the butter in a non-stick pan, add the eggs and return to the lowest heat. Rub the ladle of a wooden spoon with the garlic and use to stir the eggs constantly, incorporating the remaining butter until the eggs are soft.

For the mushrooms, gently warm butter in a pan and, once melted, add the mushrooms and turn the heat to high. Season and cook without stirring for a minute or so. Squeeze over the lemon juice, add the chopped garlic and parsley, cook for another minute and fold into the eggs.
