Yvonne Penzakov
Food Columnist, New York City, US
Yvonne likes to create little illustrations and whip up vegan awesomeness in the kitchen. She has a BA in Journalism and Fine Arts and an MA in Media and Culture from New York University. Daisy Steiner is her role model, Marc Johns is her hero. Wilco is her everything (in a non-creepy sort of way). If Yvonne had any advanced zoological knowledge or the ability to lift over 30 pounds, she’d work at an animal sanctuary. When she’s not obsessively thinking about Noel Fielding’s hair, she likes to dance ballet and finish crossword puzzles.
