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.From Ms Eleanor M. Jardine
Sir: For the past few days I have been confined to barracks with a sprained ankle, and my copy of The River Cafe Cook Book has been a constant source of pleasure. It is quite beautifully produced and is full of inspiration. It seems sad that so many years after the late Elizabeth David did the same thing, it is still so necessary to emphasise the importance of the very best ingredients - and sadder still that your writer should question this ("You must add a pinch of Maldon salt", 10 July). Anyone with an ounce of common sense knows that it is often necessary to adapt recipes for a variety of reasons, but does this mean that there should be no recipes to adapt?
Yours faithfully,
Eleanor M. Jardine
