The Chiswick Cheese Market hosts a Ukrainian Winter Appeal: A Taste of Ukraine 19th February
One
The Chiswick Cheese Market is a unique and special market in London that specializes in cheese and wine. It was established in response to the plight of UK cheesemakers and the state of the high street during the pandemic. As a group of local volunteers, community has always been the focus of their efforts. Since its establishment in May 2021, the Chiswick Cheese Market has donated a total of £13.2K to charity, partnered with the Academy of Cheese to offer 4 annual grants, and become a sponsor of the Affineur of the Year Awards.

The 19th February market will feature a Ukrainian Winter Appeal to raise awareness about the ongoing crisis in Ukraine. A Taste of Ukraine event will celebrate the food and music of the country, with all proceeds from their sales and any donations going to the British-Ukrainian Aid, which provides essential medical aid for emergency and relief operations. Dima Deinega of Dima’s Vodka has generously donated his premium triple-grain Ukrainian vodka for the occasion, which will be paired with a creamy 24-month-old comté from The French Comté. All proceeds from the sales of Dima’s Vodka will also go to charity.

The Chiswick Cheese Market is run by the Cookbook Kitchen, a group of 9 local women who are passionate about food, wine, and cheese. These women, who are cooks, chefs, entrepreneurs, restaurateurs, writers, designers, authors, caterers, and cookery writers, have set up the Cookbook Festival and continue to organize supper clubs to showcase cookery writing, recipes, and food while raising money for charity.
