I had my first One Lucky Duck experience in NYC after hearing so many good things about it over the past few years. One Lucky Duck was founded in 2005 by Sarma Melngailis, the co-creator of the Manhattan raw food restaurant, Pure Food and Wine. Sarma started One Lucky Duck to help bring the raw, vegan and organic lifestyle out of the underground and into the mainstream.
At One Lucky Duck, you can find all kinds of amazing raw vegan snacks from raw macaroons to chocolate chip cookies, handmade in small batches in the kitchen at NYC’s raw vegan restaurant, Pure Food and Wine.
We visited the Chelsea Market location and I was so excited to step inside this cafe!
We did all kinds of NYC sightseeing on this day of our travels, so the market was a nice change of pace after rushing around all day.
I bashfully asked the server if I could snap a picture or two. I don’t know about you other bloggers, but I get shy when I take pictures of food…!
It’s a really cute & cozy cafe. All of their products are on the wall including a fridge for fresh juices and whatnot. I got myself a few goodies (macaroons, raw chocolate, and buckwheat crispies) and a shot of wheatgrass for good measure.
It was hard to choose! I’ve somehow managed to open everything over the past few days and everything tastes incredible. I especially fell in love with the buckwheat cinnamon crispies (below). Maybe I can make these at home too? It’s on my list. ;)

Leave a comment below telling me one of your favourite vegan foods and I’ll pick One Lucky Duck on Tuesday! Goodluck. :)
This contest is open to anyone, anywhere in the world.
Favorite vegan food: definitely anything Indian. I love Dal Maharani in particular. :)
Very hard to choose but I’d have to say anything with nutritonal yeast AND/OR your double chocolate torte!
Hu, that’s difficult. But the food that I fell most in love with after going vegan is cashew sauce in all possible variations :)
It would have to be my favorite salad at Whole Foods in Boulder, Colorado. It’s called Superfood Salad and its a combination of fresh kale, grape tomatoes, red onion, raw sunflower seeds, raw cashews, blueberries, and edamame, in a acai berry dressing. I add red peppadew peppers that give a little bit of acidity and kick, as well as gluten free onion crisps from a local Boulder company called Gluten Free Girls. I could eat this for every meal until I die and not get sick of it!!!!! So so good.
By far the Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal….has become a staple of my mornings! So delicouse, thank you for the recipe!
My fave vegan food is the OhSheGlows chia pudding! Both the original and pumpkin varieties :P
kale chips sprinkled with nutritional yeast and dipped in ketchup. YUM!
um hello, THEIR MACAROONS!
Veggie maki rolls!
My favourite vegan food is definitely your vegan burgers. I’ve served these to all of my meat eating friends and they have thought they’re even better than normal burgers!
Almond milk, simple but a staple in my everyday eating/cooking :)
Favourite vegan packaged food? Have you tried Nud snacks? The green energy one is divine.
Vegan Chocolate cupcakes
I love kale chips!
My favorite vegan food is vegan Mac and Cheese! And green smoothies!
AWESOME giveaway!!! My vegan favs currently are nud fud snack crackers and giddy yoyo chocolate bars!
My favorite vegan food would be butternut squash soup! Mmmm.
My favorite vegan food is your Ultimate Vegan Oatmeal Raisin Cookie!! SO good. This giveaway is awesome! I would love to incorporate more delicious vegan foods into my diet :)
i’ve always wanted to try their stuff – this would be a great giveaway to win!
my favorite vegan food? pumpkin!!!
That’s a hard question! I have a huge sweet tooth, so I’ll have to say a perfect vegan chocolate chip cookie. That’s *one* of my favorites. I’ve heard so much about One Lucky Duck, but never tried anything from them!
homemade raw green chile zucchini hummus =)
my favorite vegan food has to be the sloppy joe at Karyn’s in chicago. it is SO good i actually crave it on a regular basis (which sucks since i love in colorado).
at home i like making larabar type bars…whole foods sells some vegan, raw macaroons too that are awesome!!!
My favorite food since becoming vegan is kale, any and all kale! I never had it prior and now I get anxiety if I don’t have kale in my fridge at all times :)
My fave is any form of breaded eggplant. Yum
Where to start!? Kale salad, quinoa burritos, chickpea noodle soup, vegan Mac and cheese. Oh, and chocolate cupcakes!
I am a new vegan (barely six months old!) and I have to say anything remotely cheesy makes me the happiest girl in the world! Vegan macaroons sound pretty good too!
Oh well it’s hard to chose but as long as my favourite meal is breakfast then chocolate chip banana cake (shh… with some additional pieces of chocolate!). Banana… chocolate… and cake! JUST for me! for the breakfast!! and maybe some more chocolate :) yes please!
really loving kale chips as a snack… so many vegan faves, how to choose?!
My favourite vegan food is definitely a big kale salad with avocado, dulse and hemp seeds- yummiest thing in the world!
Vegan Curry for sure!
My favorite vegan food is your cheeze sauce. I love it and my (real) cheese-obsessed husband like it, which is amazing.
hmm…favourite vegan food is probably apples!
Soo many vegan favorites to choose from! Right now my entire family and I are loving your “This Ain’t Your Gramma’s Sweet Potatoes.” Made for Thanksgiving and will for Christmas, as well. I also LOVE the gluten free vegan Cowgirl Cookies! They are very pricey though! I’d love to see you recreate them!
i LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Pillow Cookies! They are amazinggggg!
my favourite vegan food is green monster smoothies!
Mmmmmm fun!!
I just made VEGAN turtles – yes gooey caramel with peanuts and chocolate – it’s my favorite!! :)
Kale chips!
Chana Masala (with chickpeas!)
A delicious raw vegan pate, yummy!
wow, what an amazing give away!!
I think the best vegan foods are those you don’t even consider vegan because they are just so simple and natural– vegetable soup, a simple veggie and quinoa dish, coconut oil granola, etc etc (and always fresh fruit and vegetables!)
My favorite vegan food is that cashew basil cheeze sauce you had with that vegan lasagna. I put it on everything, sandwiches, use it as a dip for crackers and veggies. It so good!
Hmm I like anything with vegetables….big, giant salads! Also the whole wheat blueberry muffin recipe you have posted here before. No one believes me that it’s vegan!
My favorite vegan food is VOO! Since introducing Vegan Ovenight Oats into my diet, my breakfasts have seriously never been better!
To be honest, and I swear I’m not trying to be a suck-up, your Oh-She-Glows mint nanaimo bars! That recipe was the first vegan baking dish I made, and they were all gone in a matter of 24 hours. Yum! Also very festive for this time of year!
I have so many favorite foods that are vegan! I would have to say peanut butter. And I use that delicious peanut butter to make vegan peanut sauce for my favorite veggie, kale. Thanks for the giveaway! I love reading the other responses, too.
Nutritional yeast has been my favorite discovery since cooking almost all vegan food. My sister also made this AMAZING vegan pumpkin chocolate chip bread over thanksgiving. Oh, and my vegan gravy which everyone (omnivores and veggies alike) raved about. Plus a million other things! :D
Lately my fav vegan food has been your brownie pumpkin pecan pie! Sooo delicious…think I can make it after the holidays? ;D
