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! 🤩

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!

Dear all,

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,

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 – 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.

Some interesting facts about Thai Food 😊

  • The Thai cooking style is considered a form of art
  • The reason why Thai food is so tasty is because it aims to achieve a delicious balance between a range of different salty, sweet, sour, spicy and bitter ingredients.

And as if that wasn’t enough , they also had a delicious dessert – Poire au Sirop, chocolat et fromage blanc 😋

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.

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.
