The second year of The Cookbook Festival kicks off this week with a varied line-up of chefs; every single one with their own fascinating approach to cooking and inspirational stories to share.

The events include Indian summer lunches, Danish food feasts, to workshops on modern cheesemaking and thai cooking.

Local cooks such as Lindsay Bareham (talking to Rodney Macken on Saturday 14 September) and Jo Pratt will also be taking part.

Ruth Wood of Crucial Cafe (Hogarth Club) will be talking vegan recipes .

The full line up is here and you can also book tickets.

The Chiswick Book Festival and the Cookbook Festival are non-profit-making community events, raising money for charities, including St Michael & All Angels Church, which hosts and runs the Chiswick Book Festival as part of its community outreach. Since 2009, around £80,000 has been raised for these causes.

They continue to support two reading charities - InterAct Stroke Support, which commissions actors to read to stroke patients and Doorstep Library, which brings books and the magic of reading to the homes of children in some of London's most disadvantaged areas.

This year, they will support a new charity – The Felix Project, which saves surplus food from suppliers and delivers it to charities and schools in London, to help reduce waste and relieve food poverty.

Like Reading Articles Like This? Help Us Produce More

This site remains committed to providing local community news and public interest journalism.

Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets.

We've always done that and won't be changing, in fact we'd like to do more.

However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.

We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area.

A suggested monthly payment is £8 but we would be grateful for any amount for instance if you think this site offers the equivalent value of a subscription to a daily printed newspaper you may wish to consider £20 per month. If neither of these amounts is suitable for you then contact info@neighbournet.com and we can set up an alternative. All payments are made through a secure web site.

One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute.

If you do support us in this way we'd be interested to hear what kind of articles you would like to see more of on the site – send your suggestions to the editor.

For businesses we offer the chance to be a corporate sponsor of community content on the site. For £30 plus VAT per month you will be the designated sponsor of at least one article a month with your logo appearing if supplied. If there is a specific community group or initiative you'd like to support we can make sure your sponsorship is featured on related content for a one off payment of £50 plus VAT. All payments are made through a secure web site.
