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!

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! 😊

Collège du Léman Team 😊

Some interesting facts about Japanese cuisine:

• Japanese cuisine is one of only three national food traditions recognized by the UN for its cultural significance

Our students were presented with

Some interesting facts about French Cuisine 👨🏻‍🍳

• French gastronomy is included in UNESCO’s list of the world’s “intangible cultural heritage”
• The French Have a special bread law: Yes, the French have a special law for bread which states that homemade bread must be fully kneaded, shaped, and baked at the same place where they are sold.
• French fries are not actually French: French Fries, locally known as Frites, originated in Belgium. The story goes on to state that during World war I, Americans who were deployed in Belgium were introduced to this delicacy and since the language spoken in the region was French, they dubbed this snack French fries.

Finally, here are some interesting facts about Lebanese food 😉

• Most of their food is served with bread: A type of bread called Pita is served as an addition to most of Lebanese meals. It’s so traditional and important to their food which they refer to it as “esh” meaning life.
• 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.
• Stuffed Vegetables: Lebanese cuisine, as well as foods from around the Middle East, are well known for stuffed vegetables. Traditionally, vegetables are stuffed with ground beef or lamb and rice and seasoned with cinnamon. The stuffed vegetables are then cooked in tomato sauce or oil and lemon juice.

Wishing you a great day! 🎉

Saying goodbye to you, with some facts about Thai Food:

• Thai people almost never use an oven, but they love to stir-fry, deep fry and grill their food.
• Thai cuisine likes to combine different flavors: spicy, sour, salty, and, last but not least, sweet. Many dishes, also those you wouldn’t expect, have sugar in them.

And delicious dessert 😍

Leaving you so interesting facts about Tapas:

• There a tapas competition that take place in many areas of Spain.
• The name comes from the Spanish verb “tapar”, which means to cover. In the old days, drinks were covered to protect them from flies, hence the idea of having a snack to go with the drink.
• Spanish linguists literally invented a verb for it because they eat tapas so much.

We wish you all an amazing weekend! 🌟

Collège du Léman Team 🙂

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.

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.

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.

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.

Another special night, this time our chef Patrice surprised us with a gastronomic exhibition from the Asian country, Thailand.

Spices, mainly curry, vegetables and prawns were the special guests at this dinner.

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!

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?

This week we have had the opportunity to taste delicious dishes from a very distant culture but with a millenary tradition.

Japanese cuisine, known worldwide for sushi, has shown us that there is much more to it.

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.

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

After a few days when winter seemed to have crept back into our spring, the sunshine has returned to the CDL and with it, the fabulous brunch, full of all kinds of succulent food.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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!

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” 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.

Poultry Rendang

Shrimps Laksa

Vegetarian dish with tofu

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!

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!

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?

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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 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!

Today we have been visited by Portuguese chefs, and we have certainly enjoyed some delicious chicken and bacalao dishes.

And the favorite dessert is known to everyone here, the Natas!

Today we had a delicious fish in tomato sauce in Leman’s dining room! As a side dish, we had pasta (bolognese or pesto), rice, or baked potatoes.

As a vegetarian alternative, we had our veggie hamburgers.

This was our menu for Wednesday’s international dinner, It was full of delicious dishes of typical Lebanese cuisine.

Beef Kafta, Tawok, houmous, moutabal, these are the names of some of today’s delicacies, just incredible

Today’s salad buffet looked spectacular, an incredible mix of flavours.

Today we bring you another difficult decision, which one do you choose?

One of our favorite desserts, yogurt with berries.

The delicious combination of ricotta cheese and spinach inside a tortellini, an explosion of flavour in your mouth, if you haven’t tried it yet we suggest you do, we are enjoying it.

There was also a spiced rice and breaded turkey with vegetables.

A example of our salads, this time with chickpeas, egg and lettuce, dressed with oil and vinegar.

Welcome to CDL’s dining hall!

Where you can find our famous salmy patty, delicious salmon burger, served with sweet potato fries and other vegetables!

Also in our salad buffet today you can find some delicious seafood skewers, wonderful and tasty!

We can confirm our latest galactic signing, our new coffee machine! A coffee and hot chocolate superstar who debuted this weekend, brunch was the highlight of the day and our students put it to the test, so far with excellent results.

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

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!

Our weekend starts with a difficult but tasty decision, which team are you on?

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!

Tonight we enjoyed some wonderful fajitas, accompanied of course by guacamole.

We also had sweet potato chips, chilli beef, beans and rice.

Today our chefs presented us with a different format of food, the meal was pasta with multiple options to accompany it, one option was roast chicken with vegetables.

An option that included fish as well.

And a big surprise: a rösti and veggie burger as a vegetarian option.

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.

The weekend is finally here and to celebrate we could choose from various flavours of pizza, all of them delicious.

And for company our salad buffet.

We hope you have a tasty weekend!

Today there was pasta for dinner, and that’s something we all love! We had the choice between ravioli or gnocchi with spinach, cheese or tomato sauce, tough decision!

We had a good quiche and seasonal vegetables to go with it.

Another day we have been able to enjoy our salmon in hollandaise sauce, a real delicacy! And to go with it, pasta, mushrooms, carrots among others.

We also had as an option a magnificent chicken burger with chips.

Our salad buffet was once again excellent.

Today our desserts were some tasty Swiss flans and of course, as always, a variety of fruits to choose from.

We hope you had a wonderful October holiday, and above all that you enjoyed the tasty food in the countries you visited.

The chefs were looking forward to having us back and offering us new dishes to enjoy with the food, today the menu included:

-Two different types of pasta, one of which was dressed with paprika.
-A spiced lentil cream soup, quite tasty.
-Fried chicken with sauce.
– An amazing meatball hot dog with cheese.

And of course, our wonderful salad buffet, full of different vegetables, cheese and eggs, with various sauces to choose from, as well as oil and vinegar.

We hope you’ve come back with a taste for good food, the chefs are ready!

Today both menu choices were deliciously Italian. The children going to Italy this autumn break could already start dreaming about the amazing Italian food they would have there.

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.

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.

Our salad buffet today had a more special touch than usual, with some more legumes and vegetables with curry.

As a special dessert we had this delicious mango cream with small pieces of this tropical fruit.

Tuesdays’ dinner tasted sweet and sour with the shrimp wok accompanied by rice.

There was also a beef stew with carrots.

Or you could go for the chickpeas and many other vegetables in a curry sauce.

For dessert the chef prepared a delicious panna cotta, with raspberries or passion fruit.

Many of our students were surprised by the colour of our burger bun, another proof that cooking can be a world full of imagination and creativity.

When they tasted it, they were not surprised, because they expected it to be delicious and it was!

Another beautiful morning, another tasty brunch.

Our students have been able to recharge their energy 100% to enjoy Sunday and prepare for this week.

Fresh fruit, refreshing and super healthy!

Cheese mix, speciality of the country.

Today the star of the brunch was our salmon, delicious!

Tonight the foodies at CDL had a great night with what the chef had to offer. There was a lovely spinash and ricotta annelloni topped if with a chorizo sauce.

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.

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.

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.

Tonight the chef prepared some rice and potatoes. The cauliflower and broccoli did not only add flavour to our meal, but brought some colour to our plates. You could have this with beef in a sweet and sour sauce, fish or a vegetarian option.

No words are needed when you have these photos…

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.

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

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!

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?

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.

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.

“Pain aux chocolat” and croissants

Never-missing side dishes, vegetables and Rösti-pizza.
