We're Macaroon (right) and Artichoke (left), the Food Duo. We're a couple of kids from New York City. If you couldn't tell, we're Yankee fans, but hope that won't deter you from following us. We all got to eat, right?
We actually started our blog back in 2008, when we were active omnivores. So you will find meat recipes from back in the day, which our omnivore/carnivore friends and family enjoy. However, after a series of bouts with poor health for Mac, we decided to try being vegetarian. Artie had been one on and off for years. So the switch wasn't difficult. (As of 11/12/11, meat recipes have been removed. Vegetarian ones still posted)
2 years later, we decided to move toward veganism. Finding alternatives to meat has been really easy and a lot of fun. Some may think one is limited, but really you aren't. You can tweak many of your favorite dishes to be vegan.
That brings us back to The Food Duo. Here, we'll share recipes we've created, recipes we've found, reviews of eateries near and far, and some cool food finds. We're not trying to preach or convert folks. We just want everyone to see that you can have fun with food, be creative and not be limited by your dietary lifestyle. You'd be surprised what you may find out about yourself and others.
