Letter: Don't knock Delia
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.

Sir: How dare Rose Shepherd cast such a slur upon Delia Smith ("Delia runs wild in the bookshop", 17 October)? Saint Delia, as she is known among my friends and relatives, provides her followers with more than merely safe "English" cooking. Her recipes are diverse, tasty, interesting and often exciting.
It is the fact that she takes time to explain exactly how to do something which sets her apart from the rest and makes her a firm favourite with novice and expert cooks alike. She takes the fear out of cooking, not the excitement.
One small complaint only, I've never yet mastered the Lemon Surprise Pudding - any advice?
Yours faithfully,
