24 hours at the Catskill Animal Sanctuary (CAS) will do a person good! We stayed in the lovely and newly renovated homestead and woke up in the fresh mountain air. Then we spent the morning with the amazing animals at the sanctuary including Dozer, Lambie, Lambert, Franklin, and the blind horse.
The CAS has a compassionate cuisine vegan culinary program and this recipe for raw chocolate mousse is by Chef Linda. Outstanding!
