Emily J Bushman

Emily Bushman is a self-taught cook and baker who started her blog targeting food in anime, called Penguin Snacks, in 2015. Born and raised in Fresno, California, she grew up reading manga and watching anime with her friends, and by the time she was in college she was helping to host full blown anime conventions. 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 and to stay in touch with her anime roots. 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. Author Photo Credit: Hannah Souers
