Sunday Brunch Before the Holidays

Dear Community of the Collège du Léman,

Today’s Sunday brunch was a bit different since it was the last one before the Christmas break. As usual, the dining hall offered a variety of breakfast and lunch options, from scrambled eggs to pastries, but there was a slightly more festive atmosphere today. It was a nice way to finish off the semester and enjoy a relaxed meal before heading home for the holidays.

It wasn’t just about the food, but also about taking a moment to appreciate the time spent together before everyone leaves. The brunch gave us a chance to catch up and enjoy a meal as a group one last time before the break. We’ll be back for more Sunday brunches in January, but for now, it’s time to enjoy the holiday season.

Best regards,

College du Léman team!

International Dinner Recap: Thailand

Dear Community of the Collège du Léman,

Last night’s International Dinner took us on a culinary journey to Thailand, where our dining hall was filled with the bold, savory, and aromatic flavors of Thai cuisine. The menu featured three standout dishes: Massaman Chicken, a rich and flavorful curry with tender chicken; Beef Thai Basil, a stir-fry with fresh basil and a spicy kick; and Shrimp with Vegetables in Oyster Sauce, a delicious combination of shrimp and crisp vegetables in a savory sauce. Each dish was a perfect representation of Thailand’s vibrant food culture, and the meal was a hit with students and staff alike.

For dessert, we were treated to a unique and indulgent Coconut Rice Pudding Roll, a sweet, creamy dish that combined the comforting flavors of coconut and rice in a delicate roll. The evening was filled with excitement as everyone explored new flavors, and once again, the International Dinner was a wonderful way to connect with different cultures through food. We can’t wait to see what next week’s dinner will bring!

A Taste of Norway: A Cozy International Dinner Experience

Dear Community of the Collège du Léman,

Yesterday evening, the dining hall at our boarding school took on a distinctly Norwegian vibe as we celebrated another International Dinner. The highlight of the night was the fresh salmon, perfectly cooked to showcase its natural flavors. Alongside the fish, there were hearty, flavorful meatballs—an iconic Norwegian dish—that paired wonderfully with roasted potatoes and an assortment of fresh vegetables. The spread felt both comforting and vibrant, transporting everyone to Norway through its simple yet rich ingredients.

As the savory dishes were cleared away, the sweet finale arrived: cinnamon rolls. These warm, soft treats were a true crowd-pleaser, their rich, spiced aroma filling the room. The cinnamon rolls not only satisfied our taste buds but also brought a touch of sweetness that made the night feel special. Sharing a meal from a different culture brought a sense of unity and celebration to the evening, reminding us of the beauty in experiencing new flavors and traditions together. It was a night filled with laughter, great food, and the joy of international community.

Thanksgiving Night

Dear Community of the Collège du Léman,

Last night, we came together at our dinning hall to celebrate Thanksgiving, a holiday dedicated to gratitude and togetherness. Rooted in North American traditions, Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on our blessings, share a festive meal, and enjoy the company of loved ones. Our dining hall embraced the holiday spirit, transforming into a cozy space filled with warm lights, seasonal decorations, and the aroma of a delicious feast.

The evening was a perfect blend of tradition and community. Everyone gathered to enjoy a festive meal, filled with all the comforting flavors of Thanksgiving. While we won’t spoil the menu here, you can see all the mouthwatering dishes in the pictures below! Beyond the food, it was a night of shared laughter and connection, reminding us of the importance of being thankful for the people and moments that make life special.

From Portugal with Love: An International Dinner to Remember

Dear Community of the Collège du Léman,

Last night, our dining hall transported us to the vibrant culinary world of Portugal with an international-themed dinner. The menu was a delicious celebration of Portuguese flavors, starting with freshly baked bread infused with smoky chorizo—crispy on the outside and soft within. For the main course, we enjoyed tender roasted chicken paired with golden, seasoned potatoes, a comforting and hearty dish that brought warmth to the chilly evening. The dining hall’s dedication to authenticity and attention to detail made every bite feel like a journey to a Portuguese family table.

To end the meal on a sweet note, we were treated to the iconic pastel de nata, Portugal’s beloved custard tart. These creamy, caramelized delights were the highlight of the evening, leaving everyone with smiles and requests for seconds. The dinner not only satisfied our taste buds but also gave us a chance to connect with Portuguese culture through food. It was a wonderful reminder of how meals can bring people together and offer a window into different traditions.

Sunday Brunch🥓🥞🥑🍎

Dear Community of the Collège du Léman,

Sunday brunch at our boarding school is always a highlight of the week, offering a delightful mix of dishes that satisfy every craving. The dining hall comes alive with a bit of everything; pastries, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, fruit, yogurt, pancakes, and more. It’s a perfect balance of comfort food and lighter options, ensuring that everyone finds something to enjoy. The best part is the laid-back atmosphere, where students can linger over their meals and chat with friends.

What makes Sunday brunch even more special is the dynamic energy of the students coming and going throughout the morning. Many are engaged in activities before or after, so the dining hall has a flow of people; some arriving early to enjoy the full spread, while others slip in between events, grabbing a bite before rushing off to their next commitment.

Discovering Ghana: A Culinary Journey Through Culture and Tradition!

Dear Community of the Collège du Léman,

This Wednesday, our boarding school celebrated Ghanaian culture with an International Dinner that introduced students to the rich culinary traditions of this West African country. Known for its vibrant and diverse cuisine, Ghana offers a fascinating blend of flavors and ingredients that reflect the country’s history and cultural influences. One interesting aspect of Ghanaian food culture is the strong connection between meals and communal dining. In many Ghanaian households, food is often served in large, shared portions, encouraging togetherness and fostering a sense of community during mealtime.

Ghanaians also have a deep respect for food as a way of honoring tradition. For instance, certain dishes are prepared for specific occasions, like weddings or festivals, and the preparation often involves family and friends coming together to cook and share in the experience. This emphasis on unity and celebration is something we wanted to bring to life in our school’s dining hall—by not only serving traditional dishes but also creating an atmosphere of shared enjoyment and learning. Our team put their best effort into delivering an authentic experience, helping our students connect with the flavors and stories of Ghana, while also fostering an appreciation for cultural diversity. Please see some pictures below.

Spanish night!💃

Dear Community of the Collège du Léman,

Last Wednesday we had a special Spanish-themed dinner at school. The evening was filled with delicious food, lively music, and a great sense of community.

The menu featured some traditional Spanish dishes that we all enjoyed. There was paella, a flavorful rice dish packed with vegetables and seafood, which quickly became the highlight of the meal. We also had patatas bravas, potatoes served with a spicy tomato sauce that added a nice kick. Alongside this, we had pan con tomate, a simple but delicious dish of toasted bread topped with fresh tomatoes, olive oil, and garlic. To balance it all, there was a refreshing salad that added a light touch to the meal.

After the savory dishes, we indulged in a sweet treat: crema catalana. It’s a creamy dessert similar to crème brûlée, with a smooth custard base and a perfectly caramelized sugar topping. It was the perfect way to end the meal on a sweet note!

As we ate, we listened to Spanish music, which created a lively and fun atmosphere. The music really brought the whole experience together, giving us a taste of Spain’s rich culture.

Overall, the Spanish dinner was a wonderful time to share great food with friends while learning more about Spanish cuisine and culture. Please see some pictures below.

Lunar New Year | nouvel an lunaire

Dear Community of the Collège du Léman,

Once upon a time, nestled in the cradle of misty mountains, a village quaked under the shadow of a fearsome beast, Nian. This creature, with teeth like daggers and a roar that shook the earth, descended upon the village each year, wreaking havoc and spreading terror. But the villagers, resilient and cunning, uncovered Nian’s weakness: its fear of loud noises and the color red.

On the eve of the new year, they united in a bold stand against the beast. They adorned their homes with scarlet banners and lanterns, symbolizing courage and resilience. As the midnight hour approached, they lit fireworks and set off firecrackers, filling the night with thunderous explosions and vibrant bursts of color. Caught off guard by the onslaught, Nian recoiled in fear, fleeing back into the darkness from whence it came.

With the dawn of the new year, the village erupted into jubilant celebration. They feasted on sumptuous dishes, exchanged red envelopes filled with blessings, and danced beneath the glow of the full moon. And so, the tradition of Lunar New Year was born, a testament to the indomitable spirit of the human heart and the triumph of light over darkness.

In celebration of this, the International Dinner was themed after the Lunar New Year and Aisan cusine, please take a look at some of the fantastic dishes served! Thank you to all the increible kitchen staff who worked – as they alwasy do – so increibly hard to make the dinner special!

Best regards,

College du Léman team!

Chère communauté du Collège du Léman,

Il était une fois, niché dans le berceau des montagnes brumeuses, un village qui tremblait sous l’ombre d’une bête redoutable, Nian. Cette créature, aux dents comme des poignards et au rugissement à faire trembler la terre, s’abattait chaque année sur le village, semant le désordre et la terreur. Mais les villageois, résistants et rusés, ont découvert la faiblesse de Nian : sa peur des bruits forts et de la couleur rouge.

À la veille de la nouvelle année, ils se sont unis pour lutter contre la bête. Ils ont orné leurs maisons de bannières et de lanternes écarlates, symboles de courage et de résistance. À l’approche de minuit, ils ont allumé des feux d’artifice et des pétards, remplissant la nuit d’explosions tonitruantes et d’éclats de couleurs vibrantes. Pris au dépourvu par cet assaut, Nian a reculé de peur, s’enfuyant dans les ténèbres d’où il venait.

À l’aube de la nouvelle année, le village se mit à célébrer dans l’allégresse. Les habitants se régalèrent de plats somptueux, échangèrent des enveloppes rouges remplies de bénédictions et dansèrent à la lueur de la pleine lune. C’est ainsi qu’est née la tradition du Nouvel An lunaire, qui témoigne de l’esprit indomptable du cœur humain et du triomphe de la lumière sur les ténèbres.

Pour célébrer cet événement, le dîner international avait pour thème le Nouvel An lunaire et la cuisine aïsane ; jetez un coup d’œil à certains des plats fantastiques qui ont été servis ! Merci à toute l’équipe de cuisine qui a travaillé – comme elle le fait toujours – incroyablement dur pour faire de ce dîner un événement spécial !

Meilleures salutations,

L’équipe du Collège du Léman!

International Dinner – Albanian Food 🍽

Dear all,

Our International Dinner is back and yesterday, we had Albanian food! 🙌

Facts about Albanian food:

  • Albanian cuisine has its fair share of vegetarian dishes. Meats like beef, lamb, pork, and poultry are common ingredients in meals, too. They are, however, not necessarily a part of all traditional Albanian food recipes.
  • Albanian cuisine is primarily based on healthy ingredients such as vegetables, fruit, fish, and seafood, like the renowned Mediterranean diet. Olive oil is the most popular—and by far the oldest, dating from Roman times—cooking fat used in traditional Albanian dishes.

 

Thank you to the kitchen staff! 🤩

 

 

Collège du Léman Team 

Fresh from the Herb Garden! 🥦🥬🥒

Dear all,

Today, for lunch, our students had the opportunity to discover the taste of parsley, tarragon, mint and basil!

In Eiger, we had Risotto with basil, spinach shoots and roasted peppers (first dish) and lemon-rosemary thyme chicken and mash potato with herbs (second dish)! 😋

In Leman , we had herd crusted salmon! 😋

Thank you very much to the kitchen staff! 👏🏻

Dessert 🍰

Good afternoon everyone,

Today the chef prepared a delicious cake for the boarders to enjoy during the last weekend before the holidays! 😋

It really looks delicious! 🤩

Collège du Léman Team 🙂

International Dinner – Belgian Food 😋🍽

Dear all,

For our International Dinner, we had Belgian Food! 😋

Some facts about Belgian Food:

  • Belgian fries, not French: Don’t be fooled by the name ‘French’ fries; the origins of this ubiquitous dish can be traced back to Belgium. The misnomer stems from a geographical error during World War I, when American soldiers stationed in Belgium believed they were situated in France (due to the fact that part of Belgium speaks French). When introduced to the delicacy, the soldiers nicknamed these fried potatoes ‘French fries’. Brussels fine array of frituurs have been trying to reclaim their legacy even since.
  • The importance of condiments: You can visit any town or city in Belgium and order frites to be enjoyed while exploring the city. For maximum enjoyment, make sure to find the condiment that’s right for you. Belgian frites are almost always served with a sauce – be it the standard favourites of ketchup and mustard, or a more interesting concoction like andalouse, samurai and joppieaus – but the most traditional topping for Belgians is mayonnaise.

International Dinner – Turkish Food

Dear all,

For our International Dinner we had – Turkish food! 😋

 

Delicious pictures! 🤗

Here are some interesting facts about Turkish food:

  • Spices: The western impression of Turkish food is that it is very spicy. However, Turks don’t just use spices for the sake of throwing in as many flavours as possible. Instead, every dish is prepared to bring out the main ingredient’s flavour instead of burying it under sauces or spices.
  • Dinner: Dinner in Turkish cuisine is the most elaborate meal of the day. The dinner table is filled with a variety of sumptuous dishes because it’s the only time, apart from weekends, that all family members assemble.

Thank you very much!

 

Collège du Léman Team 😊

International Dinner – Bulgarian Food

Dear all,

For our traditional international dinner, we had Bulgarian food! 🥘

 

 

Some interesting facts about Bulgarian food:

  • The food in Bulgaria has a strong Greek and Turkish influence with dishes like baklava and Shopska salad; a cucumber, onion, tomato, white cheese and pepper dish that reminds one of a Greek salad.
  • Traditional Bulgarian food is varied, yet specific to certain regions of the country. In the Thracian Valley, claypot dishes like gyuvech are popular.
  • Fish and seafood are plentiful from the Black Sea coast.

International Dinner – Moroccan Food

Dear all,

Today for our International Dinner, we had Moroccan food. 😋🍽

Some interesting facts about the Moroccan food:

  • Moroccans eat their meals at low round tables, often sitting on cushions on the floor.
  • They eschew the use of utensils and eat with their hands, using the thumb and first two fingers of their right hands.
  • They typically serve flatbread with every meal.
  • They use pieces of bread to soak up sauces and to carry food to the mouth.
  • Moroccans pour their mint tea by holding the pot high above the glasses, allowing the air to mix with the tea.

Thank you very much to the kitchen staff!

Valentine’s Day Dinner 💖

Dear All,

Today is Valentine’s Day and our kitchen staff prepared a special meal for our students!

International Dinner – Japan 🍽

Dear all,

For our usual International Dinner, we had Japanese dinner! 🤩



Facts about Japanese food:

  • Narezushi, Japan’s original sushi, traces its origins to China. When it was introduced to Japan in the 8th century, it consisted of fermented rice and salted fish. It was mixed with rice vinegar and sake, and laid under a large stone to prevent the growth of bacteria and microorganisms and to keep it fresh longer.
  • One of the most mind-blowing Japanese food facts is meat being a relatively new thing in Japan. Japanese cuisine was heavily influenced by Buddhist traditions. Because the Buddhists forbid the killing of animals for meat, eating meat aside from seafood was almost unheard of.

 

Thank you very much to our kitchen staff! 🙌

Dear all,

  • The Senegalese cuisine is a West African Cuisine influenced by North African, French and Portuguese cuisine and derives from the nation’s many ethnic groups, the largest being the Wolof.
  • Peanuts, the primary crop of Senegal, as well as couscous, white rice, sweet potatoes, lentils, black-eyed peas and various vegetables, are also incorporated into many recipes.
  • Meats and vegetables are typically stewed or marinated in herbs and spices, and then poured over rice or couscous, or eaten with bread.

Thank you very much to our kitchen staff! 😊

International Dinner – Chinese Food! 🥠

Dear all,

For our weekly International Dinner, we had Chinese Food! 😋

Some interesting facts about Chinese Food:

  • The Healthiest Food Around the World – This is probably the most attracting Chinese food fact. Chinese like fresh ingredients and always try to achieve a balanced portion of vegetables and meat, to provide all nutrition the body needs.
  • Rich Flavours – One of the Chinese food facts is that it is of multiple flavours, among which sour, spicy, bitter, sweet and salty are the most common. Generally, the northern food is salty, the southern sweet, and the southwestern sour and spicy. No matter which flavour you like, you can always find your fond Chinese food.
  • Delicate Decoration – In addition to fragrance and taste, Chinese emphasizes the appearance of the dishes. They believe beautiful appearances can promote the appetite. After being cooked, the dishes are usually set on various plates, shaped finely and decorated creatively.

Wednesday International Dinner! 🙌

Dear all,

For our first International Dinner of the term, we had Belize food! 🌮
It looks so good!! 😜

Here are some interesting facts about Belize food:

  • Fruit like mangos, bananas and limes flavour a lot of Belizean dishes.
  • Belizeans tend to like their dishes spicy, and absolutely worship Marie Sharp’s hot sauce. This hot sauce comes in a range of spiciness, including Mild, Hot, Fiery, Belizean Heat, No Wimps Allowed, and Beware.
  • Seafood makes appearances quite often in Belize cuisine, particularly due to the fact that Belize is a coastal nation. Flounder and barracuda are popular seafood choices
  • Much of the street food in Belize is influenced by its neighbouring Spanish-speaking countries. Tacos, panades (fried corn patties with fish and beans), garnaches (see above recipe), and salbutes (hot, fried tacos) shine as Belizean street food.

International Dinner – Canada 🍽

Dear all,

For our International Dinner this Wednesday, we had Canadian Food. 😋

Leaving you with some facts about Canadian Food:

  • Great Lakes Perch is a seasonal dish that you can usually find in the summer months in restaurants near Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.
  • Usually found in Montreal, steamies are one of the favorite dishes of this region.
  • The dish consists of a soft bun that has a steamed hot dog inside it. The interesting fact about steamies is they do not contain ketchup, unlike most Canadian dishes.
  • A Canadian dish famous all around the world is peameal bacon. Peameal bacon is famous for being made from pork loin. It is also regarded as Canadian bacon.

 

Thank you to everyone that was involved in this dish! 🙌
We wish you a great week!

International Dinner – Portuguese Cuisine 🍽

Dear all,

Today our students were presented with our usual International Dinner!
And today, the country of choice was Portugal 🤩

We had Rissois, Bolinhos de Bacalhau and Pão com Chouriço!
Delicious 😋

Leaving you with some interesting facts:

  • Second Breakfast is a thing: It is a daily ritual to take a short break with a cup of coffee and a sweet pastry in a place called “pastelaria” (pastry shop). In fact, Pastelarias are part of the furniture in Portugal since work breaks (or any other event whatsoever) are always around food.
  • Despite its humble origins, Portuguese gastronomy is rich because necessity is the mother of invention: The diminutive size of Portugal, a land area about the size of the U.S. state of Indiana, might suggest that there is not much culinary diversity. Nothing could be further from the truth, and you can notice it that if you cross the country from North to South or fly to the islands. There are almost as many types of sausages, bread, cheese, wine, beer, and traditional sweets … as there are geographical regions.
  • There are no two recipes alike: Portuguese recipes have been passed down through the centuries, from generation to generation, by word of mouth. That’s why it is so difficult to find two recipes alike, even for the simplest Portuguese foods and dishes.

We said Obrigada to all the kitchen team! 😊

  • Spices and seasonings: Lebanese food has a distinct feature in most of their meals, they don’t joke with their seasoning and spices, most of their dishes use a mix of herbs and native spices to produce a unique profile and colour to their dishes.

Pizza Party

What a wonderful thing a good pizza is, thin and crispy dough, tasty ingredients well combined, lots of love and baked in the oven.

Today we have tasted incredible pizzas, from the traditional Margherita, or for the bravest with spicy salami, or a vegetable pizza with lots of flavor like the one with funghi, artichokes, and mascarpone cheese, amazing flavor.

 

Barbecue in CDL gardens

We love to enjoy the gardens of the CDL on a sunny day and what better than a barbecue to enjoy together.

We enjoyed delicious sausages, vegetable brochettes with halloumi cheese, or grilled chicken with herb-roasted potatoes.

 

  

Indian food truck

To celebrate the arrival of the good weather and our international dinner, we have been visited by an Indian food truck. A great experience for our senses and sharing a meal outside in the company of good friends.

 

 

Refreshing Brunch

On this hot weekend what better than a brunch full of refreshing foods, especially fruits such as watermelon, melon, or strawberries, and our famous seasonal smoothie.

Not forgetting our great classics, sweet and savory, so that we can choose what we like best and start the Sunday in a great way.

 

   

Food Truck Power!

With the arrival of good weather, we received a visit from an oriental food truck in the gardens of Leman. It was lovely to be able to enjoy delicacies such as hummus, falafel, or baba ghanoush outside, enjoying a refreshing ice tea to combat the spring temperatures.

It was definitely a very special day!

 

 

Sunday brunch

Do you like it savoury or sweet? It doesn’t matter, at brunch you can choose both!

Sunday couldn’t start better, wake up without rushing, go to the dining hall and share a table with friends, choose the food you fancy the most and enjoy it!

Which one would you choose?

Healthy choices

Today we show you the great variety and healthy food that we have in our dining room, you can always choose different accompaniments, such as rice, mashed potatoes or pasta, as well as roast chicken, fish in sauce or a vegetable wrap. Always accompanied by your best choice at the salad bar.

 

Singaporean night

We are back! After a well deserved Easter break the routine returns to CDL, and above all the best, the interational dinners are back, today we have been visited by a chef from Singapore, no doubt our kids love these dinners, many can discover new flavours and others feel at home thanks to the food.

Here are some photos of the delicious dishes of today’s dinner.

Tamarin fish

Turkey with vegetables and rice 

 

Vegetables with soja seeds

 

Saturday lunch: gourmet edition

Today we had a different meal, besides the main course, we had today, risotto with chicken in barbecue sauce, very tasty.

We also had a great variety of canapes, each one better and better, also accompanied by small cheese sandwiches and fresh cured meats.

Definitely, a gastronomic adventure in our dining room, the great variety and small size of the canapes allowed us to try quite a few and have a friendly chat about which were the best.

 

Patty’s Friday

It is Friday and we always like to celebrate with a special dinner and we all love burgers, so patty’s Friday!

We had two options, the falafel burger with cheese and vegetables or the beef burger with onions and a special touch of colour as you can see.

Aubergines with feta cheese

Once again, the team of chefs from the CDL’s dining hall has innovated, bringing us a dish full of flavour, this time mixing feta cheese with a vegetable, aubergine. This dish was a big success with our students, although they could also choose a meat option and of course our fabulous salad bar.

 

Chilean night in CDL

The international visit to the dinning hall comes from the Andean country of Chile.

From the far south of South America, they have brought us the best of their country, such as the empanadillas (savoury pastries), stuffed with prawns or vegetarian with cheese and olives.

And undoubtedly the best, the sweetest possible flavour, manjar, is obtained by cooking condensed milk, the translation of the name is delicacy, which gives us a clue to its flavour.

Piadina, from Italian Romagna to CDL

Piadina it is a flatbread made with wheat flour of Italian origin, typical of the Romagna provinces in the Emilia-Romagna region.

Today we enjoyed two different types, one with beef and tomato sauce and the other with mozzarella, tomato and pesto.

As a side dish we had vegetable skewers with hummus and hake parmentier.

 

Wonderful options in CDL

Our dining hall has once again surprised us with several options, so that we can choose the one we like best.

Among today’s options we had pork sausages in sauce, chicken with vegetables or scrambled eggs, tofu and cheese.

An excellent variety to keep everyone happy.

For dessert as well as fruit today we had a fabulous apple pie.

 

Sunday’s brunch

Last week we were enjoying an amazing and well-deserved holiday, but now, after a week back to the routine, our special weekend price was waiting for us, brunch!

We love that moment when we arrive in the dining hall, see our friends, and enjoy a variety of delicacies and a nice chat.

We love brunch!

 

Senegalese dinner at CDL

Tonight a great Senegalese chef has visited us from the west coast of the African continent. She invites us to discover a delicacy such as maffe, which is delicious and needs nothing more than beef cooked in peanut oil accompanied by white rice.

To drink, he offers us a fresh hibiscus tea, which is truly magnificent.

And for dessert, a tasty fruit salad.

Menikmati hidangan anda!

“Menikmati hidangan anda” means enjoy your food in Malaysian, and of course, we have done just that!

Malaysian food is known for its great taste, with subtle hints of spice and always accompanied by rice.

The chef today offered us three options, chicken, prawns and vegetarian with tofu.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

February 14th has arrived in the CDL full of love and sweets.

Today our dining room was especially nice, beautifully decorated and there were lots of roses with nice messages.

But our thing is food, so today we bring you our Valentine’s cupcake, the red velvet, a sweet that makes us fall in love. But as the most important thing is a balanced diet, let’s not forget our salad bar, amazing once again!

Bom apetite!

The Carioca rhythm arrived in CDL, rice and black beans, accompanied by the best grilled meat, with farofa (it’s manioc; finely grated and toasted, a wonderful discovery).

Special attention for the cheese balls, they have certainly triumphed among our students.

Lots of flavour in our dishes at this Brazilian dinner, we love the visits of international chefs every Wednesday!

 

“Piccata de poulet”

Today we enjoyed chicken piccata, also known as chicken milanese. Our expert food tasters say the chicken was juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside, which is exactly what this famous breading is all about.

It looks good, doesn’t it?

Bonne Chandeleur!

This special day, typical of 2 February, is celebrated in Switzerland, France and parts of Belgium.

To make use of the surplus wheat from the previous harvest, crepes were made and friends and family gathered to eat them.

As we like all celebrations that involve eating, we have celebrated it with some wonderful crepes.

Xin Nian Kuai Le! means Happy New Year!

The Chinese New Year, Its origins are steeped in legend. One story says that a monster called Nian (“Year”) attacked village populations at the beginning of each year.

Nian was afraid of loud noises, bright lights, and the color red. People used these things to scare the beast away.

That’s why we wanted to join in this great celebration, where one more year we gather to celebrate the beginning of a year full of hope.

In the year of the tiger, it is said that children born in this year will be brave, competitive, and strong.

Do you know what year you were born? (You can check it at the end of the publication).

 

 

 

We enjoyed opening the fortune biscuits to find out the best auguries for 2022.

   

 

 

Mauritian night

In the middle of the Swiss winter, we received a warm visit from the Mauritian chefs, from this island in southeast Africa they brought us flavors of spiced meat, caramelized onions, and other vegetables. Vegetarian samosas were also on the menu.

Many thanks to all the chefs who visit us every Wednesday at our international diner, we really enjoyed discovering other cultures thanks to the food.

 

Sunday brunch

What could be better than a good brunch on a Sunday morning, sharing a good chat with friends while enjoying all the delicacies you can imagine, getting the strength for fun activities, or relaxing to get ready for the week ahead?

 

Swiss fondue

Saturday evening we were able to taste in our dining room an authentic Swiss fondue, with lots of cheese, boiled potatoes, bread, pickles.

A wonderful way to get a taste of the local culture is, without a doubt, with its gastronomy.

 “Fondue isch guet und git e gueti Luune” in Swiss German means  ‘fondue is good and creates a good mood’, we really believe this to be true, everyone who has tried it says they loved it.

Órale Mexico!

Today we were visited by Mexican chefs, filling the dining hall with colour, smell and taste!

There was a great atmosphere in the dining hall, lots of sombreros, flags, and laughter as you can see with our Champ de Bois student, Liam, a real mariachi!

On the menu, chicken and beef tacos, pico de gallo, guacamole, and other Mexican treats.

 

which one do you prefer?

Variety is always one of the best qualities of our buffet, so that everyone eats what they prefer, tries new things and enjoys the food every day.

Today, in addition to rice, cereals, and pulses, we could choose between a salmon dish, a beef taco, or a vegetable toast with cheese. All of them are spectacular!

 

Also, as always, a variety of salads and a delicious dessert.

 

We are back!

We are very happy to welcome you back to our dining room, we hope you have all been able to enjoy your favorite food at home or try new dishes on a trip.

But now the dining hall is open again, today the chefs have prepared some tasty hot dogs, with vegetable side dishes, croquettes, and samosas, nothing was missing!

Accompanied by the titular Sunday line-up, with a variety of sweet and salty foods, fruits and juices.

Do you know texturised soya?

Texturised soya is a derivative of the soya plant, it is used in cooking as a meat substitute for vegetarians and has a high nutritional value due to its high protein content.

It is usually a regular in our kitchen as an alternative option to meat, although today we could also find it as an accompaniment to pasta, turkey and battered fish.

We could also choose rice noodles and vegetables, lots of options!

 

  

Soirée Ethiopienne

Today we had a visit from an Ethiopian chef!  We were lucky to be able to discover new cultures through gastronomy, the menu presented all kinds of specialties. As a major discovery, we met the Injera, a large sourdough flatbread made of teff flour, a discovery that has put our senses to the test.

Our dinning hall has been transformed, once again, into a little corner of Ethiopia making us feel the food much more.

Many thanks to the kitchen team and all the guest chefs!

 

Brunch o’clock

If it looks beautiful in the photos, imagine how tasty it will be!

It will be a pleasure to have another Sunday brunch, the perfect moment to share a chat with friends and remember the good moments of the week.

 

 

Pasta & Quiche!

First off there was gnocchi with gorgonzola sauce that pleased even the pickiest cheese lovers.

Furthermore there was beef ravioli in a tomato sauce. This could be topped of with a bouquet of arugola or other vegetables.

Sri Lanka visits CDL 🇱🇰

Today chef Thiyagaraja has transported us to Sri Lanka, dishes full of flavour and colour, of course including curry and rice, as well as a curious decoration of the whole dining room.

This student is a real pasta lover and enjoyed the annelloni with a hand picked salad. For dessert he went for the sweet taste of watermelon.

For the vegetarian option the chef prepared some croque’s, which could be had with cauliflower or a mix of carrots, zuchinni and peas. The chef truly know how to make a great vegetarian twist on some classics.

“طعام جيّد” means good food 🇸🇾

Today our chef Hmaidi has invited us to get to know his culture, the Syrian culture. Today’s international dinner was a success, the dining room was decorated with Arabic music in the background and Syrian delicacies were served.

One of the stars of today’s meal was, among other things, the Arab tea.

Rice is cooked with aromatic spices, and pieces of chicken with almonds and toasted pine nuts are placed on top. The kebab (skewered meat, usually chicken or lamb) is cooked on a barbecue. Another dish is kafta, which is prepared with minced lamb, onion, and spices, topped with a parsley salad, hummus (chickpeas and sesame), baba ganush (smoked aubergine), and the refreshing keshek (yoghurt, cucumber, mint, garlic, and oil).

Semolina cake, It is prepared by adding butter-toasted semolina into boiling water that is mixed with sugar and sometimes cinnamon pieces. It is then served with a variaty of toppings including but not limited to white cheese, cinnamon powder and pistachios.

Tough decisions

On one side, a burger with a choice of sauces and a side of Texas-style fries, on the other side, citrus-marinated salmon with wedge fries.

Never has a decision been so difficult, but the good news is that soon our chefs will bring us another delicious choice.

Another of our protagonists today is Feta cheese, we love to add it to our salads, creating a wonderful Mediterranean salad with oil and balsamic vinegar.

 

And for dessert a good sweet, our famous apple cake.

Dining on Saturday

Tonights’ dinner you could start off with different salads, like this amazing salad with tomatoes, feta and olives.

For mains you could choose between ravioli with tomato sauce and cheese. The other option wasn’t Italian but Chinese style. A flavourful dish of rice with chicken and/or duck with carrots and peas. Both filled the dining hall with a delicious smell.

There were not only different options for the main course, but also dessert. The first choice was a slice of plum pie. Those too full to enjoy a slice of the pie, could devour a yoghurt with a coconut flavor and blueberry.

Thursday dinner

On today’s menu were some amazing beef fajitas. These were topped off with a delicious home made guacamole. Perfect to energize before the last day of the week.

As always there was another option: tonight the students could also go for ravioli or pasta with a choice of sauces and vegetables. No one came out of the dining hall with an empty stomach as a lot of the students went for seconds.

 

Amazing salads as always

 

Culinary journey to Africa 🇹🇬

Today our chefs have taken us on a trip to Africa, hand in hand with our chef Egbessor we have gone to Togo, discovering new flavours and ingredients.

As main starters we could not miss the rice and the sweet potato, to accompany it we had the chicken yassa with a tasty sauce, the cassava and coconut galettes, playing with our senses, when we all expected a nice savoury dish it turned out to be a tasty sweet dish, and also the option to try the mackerel togolese style.

For dessert our famous coconut and pineapple sweets, Yummy! Yummy!

 

Which plate would you choose?

We had three lovely options tonight for dinner:

First off there was a delicious fillet of perch with pumpkin cream. This lovely dish was perfect to start of our fall. The pumpkin flavor immediately send leaves twirling down from the trees.

Those who prefer meat over fish, could enjoy a wok with minced duck and ginger. This dish was so popular that I couldn’t snap a picture in time before the plates were empty.

The vegetarians amongst the boarders really felt that they were in Switzerland tonight with a cheesy dish. There was Röesti topped off by the local cheese Tomme Vaudoise. A great way to get a taste of Switzerland.

The amazing dessert made every the sweet tooth happy.

Which dish would you have chosen tonight?

 

Green innovation, 10 points!

The day has come for all those who didn’t trust that a burger could be vegetarian. Our chefs have proved they are up to the challenge, they have made a veggie burger that was incredibly tasty, even the most carnivores enjoyed it.

In another gastronomic exhibition they prepared some roasted beetroots, most of us had never tried them before and we would definitely recommend them to you.

B R U N C H ! ! !

Get up on a quiet Sunday after a rainy night, go to the dining room and open the doors to find a wonderful free buffet.

A nice feeling, which our students were able to enjoy this morning, we would say that the “pain aux chocolat” (bread with chocolate) and the pancakes were the superstars of this morning, special mention also for the scrambled eggs with bacon and the great variety of fresh fruit.
