Hello world! My name’s Emma. I’m an enthusiastic cook and I’m currently training to be a pastry chef. I’m also passionate about volunteering in my local community and, since January 2011, I’ve been volunteering at a place called the Wellspring in Stockport, North West England. The Wellspring gives support to homeless and disadvantaged people. It also serves meals 365 days a year, and I happen to volunteer on Tuesday nights, helping to cook meals for anywhere between 20 and 70 evening visitors.
The centre relies on donations and volunteers to keep it going and, what with our stocks of food being made up predominantly of tinned or dried goods that we receive mostly at Harvest or Christmas time, we have to be a little bit... *ahem*... imaginative with our cooking. So, I thought it might be fun to blog about some of the stuff that we cook for our Tuesday-night punters, and to give the wider world an idea of what we do at the Wellspring and why the donations we receive are so important. It should also be a bit of a laugh... prepare yourself for tin-can-cuisine!
