The 3-star chef Dani Garcia likes to serve up extravagant delicacies and loves to pamper his guests' palates. The former Spice Girls singer proved to be his most difficult guest to date. Garcia was commissioned to create the wedding menu for Real Madrid star Sergio Ramos and his partner Pilar Rubio in 2019. Little did he know how many special requests David Beckham's invited wife would have.
"It was very strange. Victoria Beckham changed the whole menu. It was very sad because when you put in such a huge effort - not just me and my team, but the bride and groom and everyone else to create a unique menu," Garcia recounts on Spanish TV show 'El Hormiguero '. "Hers was totally different and only based on veggies."
It was difficult to please the fashion designer because she didn't want to eat the same dishes as everyone else. "And then there were some weird things that I've never seen before in my life. She drank coconut water constantly and had a bowl of mints and on the other side hydroalcoholic gel, which is now very well known. But not back then, because the Covid pandemic hadn’t started yet,” says the chef. "It was complicated giving Victoria her menu that night."
