For the main course, guests were presented with Chicken Paillard with spring vegetables topped with grated parmesan cheese, grated by the Zaha Hadid cheese grater from Alessi.
Finally guests enjoyed classic Chefanie sheet cakes with a Zaha Hadid twist. Black vanilla cake with marble Chefanie sheets.
