:func:`pyarrow.concat_tables`:
cast data from one type to another (if `promote=True`). In such cases the

+Adding a column to an existing Table
+====================================
+
+If you have a table it is possible to extend its columns using
+:meth:`pyarrow.Table.append_column`
+
+Suppose we have a table with oscar nominations for each actress
+
+.. testcode::
+
+ import pyarrow as pa
+
+ oscar_nominations = pa.table([
+ ["Meryl Streep", "Katharine Hepburn"],
+ [21, 12]
+ ], names=["actor", "nominations"])
+
+ print(oscar_nominations)
+
+.. testoutput::
+
+ pyarrow.Table
+ actor: string
+ nominations: int64
Review comment:
Will have to update the whole cookbook once v6 releases as that will
