Well, according to information on the Hillwood Estate web site:

As part of the exhibition, Hillwood's dining room showcases a large
20th-century Sèvres masterpiece in the form of an Egyptian ruin. In the
adjoining Breakfast Room, an elaborate dessert setting, created by
celebrated food historian and designer Ivan Day, recreates an historic
18th-century dessert service, complete with pyramids of confectionery and
fruit, chenille parterres, and sugar baskets with pastillage flowers, all
surrounded by Hillwood's Sèvres dessert service made for Cardinal Prince
Louis de Rohan.

There doesn't appear to be any kind of cooking demo or anything involving
Mr. Day on the calendar.  There is a "fawncy" dinner scheduled just before
the opening of the Sevres exhibition, but no mention is made of any
dish/dishes made by Mr. Day.  Sigh.
