Heston turn-off
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.Proud as we are to have introduced an unsuspecting public last Sunday to the idea that Britain is now the gastronomic world leader, we recognise that we omitted an important warning from our coverage. Heston Blumenthal, the head chef of the Fat Duck, is now even more famous than he was before last weekend for his snail porridge, his bacon and egg ice cream and balsamic mousse. The day after we featured the Fat Duck prominently in our report of the shortlist of the world's best restaurants, one quarter of which were British, Mr Blumenthal's was announced as the "best restaurant in the world". We commend to you the account on page 18 of Janet Street-Porter's attempts to reproduce Mr Blumenthal's cuisine in her own kitchen, and its subsequent descent into a culinary Hades. We should have included a prominent notice in last week's issue: Warning. Do Not Try This At Home.
