International dinner of the week : Morocco

Dear Community of the Collège du Léman,

Every Wednesday, our dining hall takes us on a culinary journey around the world. This week, we explored Morocco, savoring the rich flavors and traditions of North African cuisine. The menu offered a variety of Moroccan dishes, with something for everyone to enjoy. The dining hall was beautifully decorated, featuring lanterns and vibrant fabrics that brought the spirit of Morocco to life.

These dinners are more than just meals—they’re a chance to celebrate diversity and learn about different cultures. Thank you to our dining hall team for creating such an immersive and welcoming experience. We can’t wait to see what’s next on our international adventure!

Please see some pictures below.

A Delicious Start to the Semester

Dear Community of the Collège du Léman,

Welcome back, everyone! After a long winter break, it’s so great to see everyone back on campus. What better way to reconnect and kick things off than with a delicious first dinner together?

Monday night’s meal was a fantastic way to settle back into the rhythm of campus life. The menu we enjoyed was fish served with a side of rice. We also enjoyed roasted eggplant, which added a smoky and hearty touch to the plate. Tying it all together was a fresh green sauce that made every bite stand out. It was a meal that felt welcoming and comforting, just what we needed to start the semester right.

Best regards,

College du Léman team!

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!

Best regards,

College du Léman team!

 

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.

Best regards,

College du Léman team!

  

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.

International dinner of the week : ITALY

Dear Community of the Collège du Léman,

Alongside it, we had creamy polenta and soft, pillowy gnocchi smothered in a decadent cheese sauce.

We really enjoyed dinner, and it was a perfect reminder of how food can bring people together and transport us to another place and time. 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!

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,

It really looks delicious! 🤩

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!

  • About 20 percent of pet owners give Valentine’s Day gifts to their pets.
  • Over $1 billion worth of chocolate is purchased for Valentine’s Day.

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,

Some interesting facts about Senegalese food:

  • 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.
