Abstract
In this interview with Manuel de Rivero, Gastón Acurio analyzes the moment we are living: Europe cannot sustain the well-being societyand faces serious challenges to renew itself; on the other hand, the North American societies are overwhelmed by an extremely individualist and consumerist vision. Facing that, Latin America shows itself generous, willing to return the illusion to spiritless consumers, without emotion for life. The interview revises various concepts common to cookery and architecture, such as modernity and vanguard. Nowadays, Acurio says, being modern is looking inside us in search for a truth that the world can make his. Vanguard, on the other hand, is promoting fair trade and inclusiveness. For Acurio, a new ethics is emerging: Latin America teaches to relate success to solidarity, luxury to commitment, and aesthetics to ethics. Acurio points out that he makes restaurants in the world so that his country can be proud of its culture. About the position of Peruvian cuisine in the world, he maintains that it is due to the union of chefs. Peru got tired of failure stories.
