The evening commenced with a delectable appetizer: roasted beet hummus adorned with a medley of mixed beets, Moroccan lentils, arugula, pomegranate, crispy pita, and herb dressing. For the entrée, attendees were treated to a mouth-watering butter-and-herb-roasted airline chicken breast, served alongside heirloom cauliflower, potato mousseline, and grilled baby leeks with a drizzle of purple mustard sauce.

To elevate the dining experience, a guided tasting of The Macallan Double Cask 30 Years Old was offered to complement the meal. Ending on a sweet note, the dessert was a flavorful fusion of raspberry pectin, pistachio sponge, vanilla mascarpone, pistachio ice cream, and a delicate raspberry crème.
