The Catskill Animal Sanctuary Presents: Where's the Protein?
Chef Linda Soper-Kolton
It's the question all potential vegans ask, but where will I get my protein? Americans are obsessed with protein and most of us are eating too much of it. Plant-based protein is ideal for optimum health, is easier to find that you would think, and is a healthier and more humane way to eat. Understanding our protein requirements and the best plant-based protein sources are at the foundation of a sustainable vegan diet. Making them taste great is also critical! Join the Catskill Animal Sanctuary's Compassionate Cuisine Chef Linda for a demo that will leave you feeling confident in answering that perennial question about your protein! Free samples and a 10% off coupon to the full "Where's the Protein" class to be held at the Sanctuary in Saugerties on Thursday July 12 will be available to all guests attending this demo. For more info, see: casanctuary.org or contact Chef Linda: linda@casanctuary.org.
