In this all-Spanish episode of Spanglish Culture y Comida Sustentable, we sit down with Chef Diego Alcántara, a Peruvian chef currently based in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, to explore how ancestral knowledge, indigenous ingredients, and culinary justice are redefining the global food narrative.

He reflects on his grandmother’s teachings, why he left fine dining, and how food is more than just nourishment—it’s identity, resistance, and love.

🎧 Part 1 of a 2-part interview. Part 2 drops Tuesday.
