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.More than two decades since Jamie Oliver shot to fame with The Naked Chef, the TV chef is returning with a brand new cookbook: Simply Jamie.
After stints as a pastry chef in Antonio Carluccio’s restaurant and as a sous-chef at the famous The River Cafe, his hit BBC show The Naked Chef debuted in 1999 with his book of the same name becoming a bestseller in the UK.
In the 25 years since, the celebrity chef has campaigned for healthier food for school children, been awarded an MBE, opened numerous restaurants and written more than 30 books (Oliver is the bestselling non-fiction British author).
His 35th book, Simply Jamie takes it back to basics with five chapters aiming to bring joy back into the kitchen. From livening up midweek meals to ensuring you get the best bang for your buck with dinner leftovers, Oliver says the culinary bible will arm you with new confidence in the kitchen.
Released in the autumn, the good news is that Amazon is currently offering 50 per cent off pre-orders. Here’s everything you need to know.
