Hello friends, new and old! I am currently working on a cookbook, to be published in 2022. In the meantime, this blog and my YouTube channel are largely on hiatus. Enjoy scrolling through my older content, and stay tuned for more book announcements. - Emily

Crunchyroll #96: Fried Eggplant from “Kakuriyo no Yadomeshi”

Read the original post here. OR read below! If you haven’t been watching Kakuriyo -Bed & Breakfast for Spirits-, I suggest you jump on that before we move in earnest into the new season of anime. To say that it’s been very inspiring to me is a bit of an understatement- I’ve been loving every single episode. This will NOT be the last food I make from this anime…. Sorry, not sorry. I can hear you asking me: Emily, fine, whatever, watch all the anime you want, but why are you so

Crunchyroll #92: Hachis Parmentier from “Food Wars! Third Plate”

Read the original post here. Or read the post here: Well, well, WELL, here we are again with another Food Wars recipe and a brand new opportunity to lose my mind cooking. This recipe, the product of Soma, his dad, and Erina, is a recipe for insanity! It’s a take on Hachis Parmentier, which is basically the French verson of Shepherd’s Pie. But, of course, these three decided to up the ante and turn out something that only faintly resembles the original dish, while providing a

Crunchyroll #78: Soma’s Venison from “Food Wars!”

Learn how to make it here. Here we are again, another one of Soma’s recipes, another chance for me to lose my mind, cooking my life away in my non-professional grade kitchen. I gotta say, I love cooking food from Food Wars! because of the challenges it presents, but I also have to say that it can be really tough trying to recreate the food from this show using a kitchen that is barely adequate for more than the basic home cook would need, let alone an aspiring gourmet chef.

Crunchyroll # 77: Pineapple Ramen from “Ms. Koizumi Loves Ramen”

Learn how to make it here. Ms. Koizumi Loves Ramen, at the outset, seems like an innocent and harmless anime. It is a nice little show about a girl, Koizumi-san, who, you guessed it, LOVES ramen. A lot. I’m honestly not sure how she’s able to consume so much ramen, sometimes up to an estimated 5 times a day. I mean, I’m a fan of ramen, but that seems… a little extreme. That’s not the end of it, though! She loves ALL KINDS of ramen. Ramen and burger combinations? Check. Super

Crunchyroll #75: Curry-Men from “Laid Back Camp”

Learn how to make it here! Welcome 2018! This is my first food recipe of 2018, and I couldn’t be more excited about it. Laid-Back Camp, the adorable new 2018 winter anime, is all about a girl getting away from the hustle and bustle of regular life to go camping for the weekend. As someone who just came back from a two-week winter break, I can tell you that there is no better thing to do while “getting away from it all” than eating some really, really good food. To be fair, ca

Crunchyroll #73: Salmon Coulibiac from Shokugeki no Soma!

Learn how to make it here! Seriously, three days of effort went into this. Mostly it’s because I have a day job and I wanted to do a really thorough preparation. I just couldn’t fit all the steps into one evening. Nonetheless, all told, I think I spend about 6 hours actively preparing the various parts that go into this. Which brings me to my next question…HOW ON EARTH DID KUROKIBA MAKE THIS DURING ONE SHOKUGEKI?!?!? Seriously, is there a time limit on each Shokugeki? How muc

Crunchyroll #72: Wing Gyoza from “Shokugeki no Soma”!

Learn how to make it here! First big thing we need to address: Erina’s father somehow thinks it’s a good idea to shut down one of the dormitories that houses students at his own academy. His justification is that the house is set apart from the school and therefore hard to control, which is all well and good, but let’s be real…WHERE WILL THE STUDENTS LIVE INSTEAD? Seriously, you don’t just shut down a dorm because you don’t like that you can’t control the kids there. Logistic

Learn how to make it here! When Chise arrives in Elias’ home, she is offered an abundance of food. As a food blogger that focuses on anime food, this was very intriguing to me. However, the only thing she really ate was THIS: I was immediately befuddled. Was this meatloaf? Something else? On first sight, I thought it was meatloaf. I decided to see what everyone on Twitter thought, and the resounding conclusion from almost everyone was this: I was really thrown for a loop. If

Caprese Martini from “Neo Yokio”

It’s a gross as you think it’s going to be. I had to see what it would taste like! Click over to see the video for my full reaction. Recipe is posted below. Make with caution- in my experience this is a highly divisive drink. You either love it or hate it. I tested it on many of my friends- it seems like the people who liked it enjoyed savory things more than sweet things. If you don’t like savory drinks, this might not be for you. However, it’s 100% worth it for the memes. I

Crunchyroll #63: Curry Buns from “Restaurant to Another World”

Learn how to make it here! Honestly, for MONTHS now I’ve looked at Feast of Fiction’s Black Butler curry buns and silently stewed at home because they swooped my style. I won’t lie – I can be a bit of a petty person. I didn’t want to recreate the same recipe since they already did it, and I didn’t want to be a copy-cat, yadda yadda. So it goes. Looking back, I’m not sure why I was so dumb about it. Curry buns are AMAZING, and, thanks to Restaurant to Another World, I had my c

Crunchyroll #62: Mixed Fruit Crepes

Learn how to make it here! Crepes have been a tradition in my family for a long time. When I was little, my mom would make them every Sunday morning for my sister and me. Mom is amazing at making crepes, they always turn out golden and round, perfectly formed, with tiger stripe patterns across the surface. We would fill them with syrup, apple butter, sugar, and all manner of other delicious things. It was one of my favorite breakfasts of the week! Unfortunately, the skill for

Learn how to make it here! Hey everyone! Welcome back! I’m so glad you’re here with me to learn about the wonders of safe cooking. In the past when I experimented with curry from scratch, I ended up having to flush my eyes out in an attempt to rid myself of the lingering effects of fresh spices in open bodily orifices. Sounds bad, right? Correct. It was bad. However, here in the Penguin Snacks kitchen we are TURNING A NEW LEAF! Which means… dun dun duuuuuuun! It’s time to bre

Learn how to make it here! Melon soda floats! The epitome of a perfect summer day. It’s cool, refreshing, creamy, and sweet. A delightful combination of liquidy sweetness with cold and creamy ice cream. Throw in some ice chunks, and you’ve even got a unique mouthfeel, different from a regular old float. It’s crunchy and creamy and all kinds of amazing. Honestly, if I was coming out of a desert, this is what I would order as well. I love root beer floats- the typical, very tra

How can this be a serious recipe they are actually trying to show us?! And on top of that, Aletta claims it’s her favorite food out of everything at the shop. I mean, come on. A steamed potato??

Crunchyroll #45: Shokugeki no Anime- Boruto

This week we’re doing something a little new! I go head to head with my BFF to make the best Boruto Burrito! Check it out here! ** Are you a fan of Boruto? This week, my roommate (Sarah) and I threw down over this show, competing to see who could make the best Boruto-themed burrito, a la Shokugeki no Soma or Iron Chef. Though we have very different opinions of this show, the results of our efforts were extremely tasty. I am starting a new series, called “Shokugeki no Anime”,

She is a faintly bird-like creature (with hairy legs) with a human inside her (uhhhhhh) who might be the director of the anime, but no one is really sure. If you’re incredibly confused, don’t worry- so is everyone else, including most of the characters of the show. This week’s recipe isn’t really

Crunchyroll # 38: Spanish Omelette from Seiren

Read about it here! ** Honestly, never before in my long and varied experience with anime has a food dish overshadowed the very anime it comes from. I mean, guys, let’s be honest. Seiren is a nice slice-of-lifey show about college-age kids who are all trying to just find a true and honest relationship with one another. Theoretically, if we’re going by the most neutral description possible. And let’s be real- there are some sweet stories. It tries to be sexy and cool. And I’ve

So, this week I wanted to make something simple and fun. What did I choose? Cream puffs. Again. I hate cream puffs. Have I said that before? I’m not a huge fan of their eggy flavor, I don’t really like the cream in the m
