Emily Bushman is a self-taught cook and baker who started her blog targeting food in anime, called Penguin Snacks, in 2015. A high school English teacher by day, Emily began her blog as a way to spend more time on her cooking hobby in the evenings, particularly focusing on her fascination with food in anime. The blog has since sprawled into a career working on video creation for the likes of anime streaming platform Crunchyroll, and for beloved franchises like Naruto, One Piece, Food Wars! : Shokugeki no Soma, Jujutsu Kaisen, and more. She currently lives, works, and bakes in a small apartment (with an even smaller kitchen) in Tokyo, Japan.
