The team putting together a community cookbook to celebrate an estate in Sydenham is thanking the public for its support towards their crowdfunder.

"We want to celebrate this diversity and bring the community together by producing a cookbook where the recipes are collected from the local community.
"More than a traditional cookbook, we want to tell the stories behind all these recipes and for it to be full of family stories and good memories.
"It is all about sharing food, friendship and love. So far we have collected over 75 recipes with more to come. "
