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. ;)

It’s still very rare to find vegan restaurants or shops where I live… and I’m always a bit jealous of Americans who seem to have them everywhere ;-)
My favorite vegan recipe is definitely the Creamy Avocado Pasta… yummy!
Vegan overnight oats, of course! Oh, and pumpkin pie smoothies and carrot and red curry soup…I could go on…!

The vest vegan food has to be super dark chocolate… I’m not picky about the brand, but I do have a soft spot for my local market’s raw chocolates :)
I love vegan pizza.. :]
Vegetable Soup: in all it’s endless variations: clear or opaque, thick or thin, creamy or chunky, or in between… One ingredient or a dozen, from leftovers or peak produce… It’s the easiest way to develop confidence in the kitchen, and let the seasons and the ingredients speak to you.
This is hard! I would probably have to say chocolate :D
My favorite vegan treat is Earth Cafes Cheesecake! It is so delicious :) and for greens I love Rhythm Kale Chips.. I think they taste better then potato chips!
My favorite vegan food right now is roasted root vegetables, specifically purple fingerling potatoes, turnips, sweet potatoes and carrots, whole garlic cloves with some olive oil, sea salt and herbs.
My favorite vegan food is Dark Chocolate! Followed closely by sweet potatoes!
Banana softserve blizzards, yum!
