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. ;)

My favorite vegan food has been your triple chocolate torte, made with avocado. So creamy and delicious!
O i haven’t ever tried Lucky Duck! This giveaway sounds amazing. My favorite vegan snack (let’s be honest, dessert) are nut cookie dough balls! Looks like you had an amazing time in NYC – JELLY :)
Your Cookie Dough Balls!!!! It was one of the first purposefully vegan treats I’ve made.. a) I LOVE cookie dough and was really wanting a good replacement and b) I desperately wanted something that would impress my family (none of which are even remotely veg) Those things are the BOMB! I loved them, my family LOVED them.. and we couldn’t help making constant double entendres the whole time making/eating them! Way to bring my family together, Angela! ;)
My moms homemade vegan chili YUM!!!!! :)
I am a big lover of all fresh veggies and fruits, but I do have a weakness for Daiya cheese, Chocolate Chip Cookies made from the recipe in Vegan Cookies Take Over Your Cookie Jar, macaroni salad made with Follow Your Heart’s Veganaise (omni husband also likes!), and Punk Rock Chickpea Gravy from VWAV!
The banana muffins from Veganomicon. They completely changed my boyfriend’s perspective of vegan food and made him a believer :)
Kale Chips! Always so delicious. When I make them for/share them with my non-veggie friends they’re always surprised at how good they are!!
My favorite vegan food of all time is a classic toss salad with romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber and chick peas. Just writing it makes me feel so hungry!
I am in love with your creamy avocado pasta!!!!! Yum!!!!!
peanut butter bowl with cabbage,brussel sprouts, tofu and kale. yumm!
Hi Angela! This give-away is AMAZING and I would love to win it. My favourite vegan food(s…how do I choose just one?) are kale chips (to die for) and vegan cupcakes. And by vegan cupcakes I mean…the vegan cupcakes at Kind Foods (http://www.kindfood.com/). They are SO good.
It changes every week, and usually involves something from your site :) Right now, I’m loving Gena’s buckwheat/quinoa pancakes with a pumpkin chocolate sauce that I invented (fresh pumpkin, pecans, cacao, vanilla, almond milk, and a few dates). But my favorite that never changes is a huge salad with tons of veggies on it.
I could live on your apple pie oatmeal! So delicious.
Has to be rich creamy amazing chocolate almond butter :-D It tastes like brownie batter to me, without any brownie batter guilt ;-)
natural peanut butter. a million ways to use it…on or in everything :D
also….your candycane blondies. i’m pumped to start having them around for the holidays! :)
My Favorite vegan food is homemade hummus!! All different kinds! So easy and SO yummy :-)
My favorite vegan food is hummus!!! especially cheezy hummus! yum!! hahah… anything with chickpeas is better, and hummus is one of my favorite foods for sure! what a great giveaway Angela! I loved visiting One Lucky Duck at Chelsea Market last spring…. amazing!
Holy COW. What a giveaway! My favorite vegan food is the filling from your chocolate torte! I could eat it by the bucketful….
I’m not usually a vegan who craves or misses animal products, but your quick vegan cheeze sauce has definitely changed my boyfriend and I’s lives! Seriously amazing smothered over broccoli! :)
