Would you like the opportunity to step into the kitchen and learn from one of the most acclaimed chefs in the world today?  In this exclusive event for UWRF Perth, former Global Executive Chef and Culinary Director of Potato Head, Wayan Kresna Yasa will demonstrate how to prepare selected dishes from his recently published cookbook Paon: Real Balinese Cooking.  Bookings are limited to a maximum of 12 people.

Wayan Kresna Yasa is a Balinese chef born on the island of Nusa Penida, off Baliʼs east coast. He trained and worked in the US for six years, sharpening his cooking skills in Michelin rated kitchens such as Blue Hill Stone Barns in New York and Acadia in Chicago. His signature cooking style is Modern Balinese, marrying classical French cooking technique with the complex flavor profiles of his Southeast Asia island home. In Bali, Chef Wayan is known for the deftness of his cooking, his deep respect for the environment and his drive to put the flavors from his homeland on the global culinary map. As the Global Executive Chef and Culinary Director for Potato Head, Wayan opened Ijen, a zero-waste sustainable seafood restaurant,- Kaum, a venue known for its revival of rare Indonesian tribal recipes,- and Tanaman, a plant-based project which was listed as one of the best new restaurants in the world by Condé Nast Traveller in June 2020.  His cookbook, Paon: Real Balinese Cooking, was released earlier this year.

Other events with Chef Wayan during UWRF Perth include:
A Taste of Paon - a very special Literary Lunch featuring a 3-course meal prepared by Chef Wayan, fine wines by Plantagenet and words from award-wining authors Jennifer Down and Josephine Wilson.
Paon Talking - a conversation between Chef Wayan and UWRF Festival Director Janet DeNeefe in which they shine a light on the diversity of Balinese cuisine and food culture.
