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.

Best regards,

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.

Best regards,

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,

This week’s international dinner at our boarding school took us on a delicious detour from the usual pasta and pizza we’d been expecting. Instead, we were treated to a true Italian feast, featuring ossobuco, a slow-braised veal shank in a rich, savory sauce. 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.
