Wayan Sutariawan

Wayan Sutariawan (Suta) has been promoted to Executive Sous Chef of Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan. As head chef of the resort, he oversees Ayung Terrace restaurant, Riverside restaurant, Sokasi cooking school, Jati Bar, In-Room Dining, and culinary experiences such as the Megibung dinner on the River Terrace and Chef-Guided Picnic in the surrounding wilderness.

Suta, who was Senior Sous Chef before his promotion, joined Four Seasons in 2006. But his technical training - and his passion for authentic food - began at the age of 12 when he was adopted by his auntie and exposed to regional dishes from across Indonesia. He has just released a cookbook, Cherished Recipes From My Childhood to share his favourite recipes, many of which are available for guests to enjoy at Ayung Terrace. It also contains "forgotten" Balinese recipes that Suta is on a mission to keep alive with the Chef's Table dinner at Sokasi cooking school. Along with his local expertise, Suta also brings strong international experience to the Resort's menus, having spent five years at Four Seasons Resort Maldives at Landaa Giraavaru.
