Mohonk Consultations will present its annual Distinguished Achievement Award to John Novi the “fearless and imaginative” chef who is internationally celebrated as one of the founders of New American Cuisine. Locally, the High Falls native is also known as a tireless advocate for the preservation of family farms and Hudson Valley history. His generous donations of catering services to agricultural, arts, educational, environmental and historic group fund-raisers have made him a hero to many local non profits.
