Guests will get to enjoy the work of the all star chef line-up firsthand, as well as being exposed to the latest techniques and trends that define today’s culinary world where waste and creativity will be key.

Bottura will also supervise a team of star chefs – Mario Batali, Eric Ripert and Carlo Mirarchi – over an evening designed to promote the activity of the Refettorio Ambrosiano which will be in New York this winter, following on from the success in Milan, Rio, and London.
