Today, Kathy chats with Catskill Animal Sanctuary's very own Chef Linda Soper-Kolton, Director of their plant-based cooking program, Compassionate Cuisine:

  • Kathy shares how her mom, a wonderful cook, gave her a deep and lasting appreciation of food and of dinner time.
  • Linda, who had the opposite experience, discusses learning to cook from necessity.
  • Linda addresses three frequent “objections” to trying veganism: 1. Where will I get my protein? 2. I don’t have enough time to cook like that, and 3. It’s summer: I don’t want to grill TOFU!
  • They discuss the changing landscape of veganism.
  • Linda talks about how Covid demanded an instant switch to virtual cooking, and invites listeners to her upcoming pasta class!
  • Linda shares the impact of the animals on her work.
