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 is any kind of vegetable! Right now, I saute zucchini, mushrooms, and onions together and it is so tasty!
The vegan chocolate cupcakes I made from VCTOTW have far surpassed any other non-vegan cupcake attempt I’ve made!

my favorite vegan food is a green monster–looking forward to one every morning is what gets me out of bed!
Guacomole!!!!! Can’t live without it :)))
Green Monsters = favorite vegan food. Yummy!
Over 1,800 comments already? No way I’m gonna win this one, but heck – one of my favorite vegan foods is Margaritaville Humms – specifically, the lemon flavor. Yummers!
I love my morning oatmeal! Rolled oats, vanilla nondairy milk, almond butter, maple syrup, vanilla essence, and cinnamon. So lovely!
mmmm Kale chips with nutrional yeast!! My fave :)
So generous of you! One of my favourite recipes is your Butternut Mac-n-cheeze. It made the leap into my “favourite recipes” binder after the first time I made it! I love how creamy (and easy!) the sauce is.
Fav Vegan … hmm … would have to say butternut squash macaroni and cheese! Gosh I love that stuff.
Hard to pick, but veggie sushi with seaweed salad and edamame are right up there.
Hmmmm, this is really tough because I have so many favorites but I LOVE your no bake chocolate peanut butter chews. Now that they’re on my mind, I might have to make them!!
Thanks for the chance to win, sounds like an AWESOME giveaway!!
I love baking and eating vegan banana bread!
Banana soft serve is my favorite!
Hi,
I had an amazing dinner at Pure Food and Wine in August 2010 on their outdoor patio! I also own both books by Sarma (the first one written with Matthew Kenney (co-creator)) incorporating their recipes from the restaurant which inpsired me to buy a dehydrator and a Vita-Mix. In fact, I have made the buckwheat cinnamon crispies a few times now. Some of my favorite vegan foods are ezekiel sprouted grain breads and tortillas, very convenient for lunch at work. The giveaway looks wonderful as did your NYC trip!

A delicious quinoa and veggie casserole! Your pumpkin pies a couple weeks back looked amazing too and I’ve been itching to try out the winner :)
I love almost anything vegan! vegan overnight oats, or just oatmeal for that matter, anything with almond butter and banana, and beans!
Definitely hummus!
