Our volunteer of the week this time is Emily Angle. Emily has been nominated for the excellent work that she did whilst lead cooking at Highbury last Sunday. Despite being a couple of kitchen assistants short of a full team Emily stayed calm and got the team through the morning, to deliver tasty and nutritious meals to over 60 service users.

Emily has been volunteering with The Food Chain since October 2006. She has been a lead cook at Highbury for the past 15 months. When not volunteering with us Emily loves watching her husband studiously make marmalade; taking her toddler to the British Museum to hear him exclaim, "Wow, that's AMAZING" in every room; Mad Men; black bears; toasted hot cross buns and peanut butter (but not together).

Her message for fellow volunteers is "thank you for making the coffee first thing in the morning. Thank you for turning up, having a go, and coping with any crazy stuff that gets thrown at you during the morning. And thanks for coming back, week after week!"

Thanks very much to Emily for doing such a good job.
