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 Feel sure that anyone who knows what the inside of a saucepan looks like, or who has ever entered a kitchen in anger, will have groaned on reading Michael Bateman's article "Flavoursome Fish" (Review, 6 October).
He says that a "cookery writer" learned from Gordon Ramsay the habit of preparing food in the morning or even the night before, and keeping it chilled until ready to cook.
Millions of cooks, both men and women, who have been doing this for years as a commonplace method of food preparation, will be astounded by this revelation, and will be confirmed in their view that too many cookery writers are either insultingly patronising or hopelessly imbecilic.
