taste: queer cuisine
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.Experiencing Keith Floyd withdrawal symptoms? Well, there's no need to go cold turkey. As part of its ongoing "Feast for the Eyes" season this month, the National Film Theatre will be tickling your tastebuds with the delicious Camp Cooks and Queer Cuisine, a celebration of that most flamboyant of worlds, television cookery. The compilation is presented by The Independent's David Benedict - no doubt one of the factors that contributed to its sell-out success at this year's London Lesbian & Gay Film Festival - and features sterling performances from Hudson and Halls, Ainsley Harriott and the oft-imitated but always unmatched Fanny and Johnny Craddock (above). And once your kitsch cravings have been satisfied, you can becalm your titillated palate after the screening with the free cup of chilled summer soup from sponsors the New Covent Garden Soup Company.
