Chef Anibal Joe Criollo is helping to spread the indigenous idea of
"Buen Vivir", that one’s wellbeing is intimately connected to that of the
environment and community.

Criollo says one of the most important parts of Buen Vivir is that it is
intergenerational (Credit: Dimitri Selibas)
Back outside in his shagra, Criollo walks with his
niece Helen, showing her how the scraps from the
kitchen get fed to earthworms or pigs. Helen
squeals with joy as she holds a cuy (guinea pig),
a local regional delicacy, and collects eggs from
under a cackling hen.
