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.

Jake Gyllenhaal is the latest A-lister to decide that what's missing in his life is his own restaurant. The Brokeback Mountain star is set to open an LA restaurant in cahoots with childhood friend Chris Fischer, previously sous chef at Babbo in Manhattan, the Italian flagship of clog-wearing, ponytail-championing celebrity chef Mario Batali.

Their organic restaurant is due to open this winter after Gyllenhaal has taken a cycling tour of Italy in search of inspiration.

Equally starry on most mornings is The Wolseley, the Viennese-inspired grand café on Piccadilly that, as it approaches its fifth birthday, remains London's classiest breakfast destination. And now, with the publication of Breakfast at The Wolseley – a recipe-packed love letter to an establishment that for many has become synonymous with the most important meal of the day – it's possible to attempt to recreate the dishes (if sadly not the ambience) of the place. I'll have the Crêpe Complet.
