Dear Community of the Collège du Léman,

Last night, our dining hall transformed into a Mediterranean feast as we celebrated Greece for this week’s International Dinner! Every Wednesday, we take a culinary journey around the world, and this time, the flavors of Greece brought a fresh and delicious experience to our community.

We started with a refreshing appetizer of tzatziki—a creamy, garlicky yogurt dip—served with crisp, colorful raw vegetables. For the main course, we enjoyed chicken souvlaki, marinated to perfection and grilled to a golden brown, served with warm, fluffy pita bread. To finish the meal on a sweet note, we had Greek yogurt drizzled with honey and fresh fruit, a simple yet delightful dessert that perfectly captured the balance of tangy and sweet.

These international dinners are always a highlight of the week, bringing us together to explore new tastes and traditions. We can’t wait for next Wednesday!

Best,

Dear Community of the Collège du Léman,

Last night, our dining hall hosted a special International Dinner featuring the flavors of Iran. The menu included tahchin, a crispy saffron rice cake, lamb shank slow-cooked with aromatic spices, and choelazard, a delicious Persian dessert. The rich flavors and warm spices made for an unforgettable meal.

What made the night even more special was the return of a former student who left three years ago. They joined the kitchen team to help prepare the dishes, bringing their passion for Iranian cuisine to our school once again. It was a wonderful evening filled with great food, culture, and connection. We can’t wait for the next International Dinner!

Dear Community of the Collège du Léman,

Today, our boarding school hosted an International Dinner, and this time, we took a delicious trip to Mexico! The dinner featured a variety of classic Mexican dishes, including tacos, nachos with guacamole, rice, and burritos. The tacos were filled with tender meats and topped with fresh salsa, cheese, and a squeeze of lime. The nachos, served with creamy guacamole, were a hit, and the flavorful Mexican rice perfectly complemented the hearty meal.

For dessert, we indulged in bunuelos de nata, which were crispy fried dough treats lightly dusted with sugar. These sweet bites were paired with a rich, spicy chili con chocolate sauce that added a unique twist to the traditional dessert. The combination of sweetness and heat was a delightful surprise, making for a memorable finish to the meal.

The International Dinner was not only about enjoying great food but also celebrating Mexican culture and bringing everyone together. The lively atmosphere was filled with conversation, laughter, and an appreciation for the rich flavors of Mexico. It was a fantastic opportunity to bond over food, explore new tastes, and make lasting memories with friends. Here’s to many more cultural dinners in the future!

Dear Community of the Collège du Léman,

Tonight’s dinner was both tasty and healthy! We had tender chicken served with fluffy rice and a variety of fresh vegetables. This meal was well-balanced, offering a good mix of protein, carbs, and vitamins, making it both filling and nutritious. It was the perfect way to enjoy a satisfying meal without feeling too heavy.

As always, our salad buffet was available to add something fresh to the meal. With a wide range of greens, toppings, and dressings, it’s the perfect way to add extra nutrients to your plate. Whether you like a simple salad or one packed with everything, there’s something for everyone.

Tonight’s meal was a great reminder of how good and healthy our dinners can be. We’re already looking forward to the next one!

Dear Community of the Collège du Léman,

Every Sunday, our dining hall offers a brunch spread that’s always something to look forward to. The table is filled with different types of freshly baked bread, from soft croissants to other warm, delicious options, making sure there’s something for everyone. For those with a sweet tooth, there’s a tempting selection of pastries, donuts, and muffins that are always a hit. We also had a large variety of yogurts to choose from, perfect for anyone looking for a light and refreshing option.

This week, we enjoyed some classic savory favorites, too. Crispy bacon, perfectly scrambled eggs, and smooth smoked salmon with creamy avocado were all part of the spread. Everything came together perfectly, and the fresh juice—orange, apple, and berry—was a refreshing way to wash it all down. For those who prefer a caffeine boost, the coffee station offered rich, aromatic brews that were the perfect start to the day.

Sunday brunch is more than just a meal; it’s a chance to relax and enjoy time with friends. The dining hall was filled with laughter and conversation as everyone gathered to enjoy the food. We’re already looking forward to next Sunday’s brunch and the chance to do it all over again!

Dear Community of the Collège du Léman,

This past Wednesday, our dining hall was filled with the lively spirit of Colombia during our International Dinner. It was a wonderful chance to immerse ourselves in Colombian culture, known for its warmth, rich traditions, and colorful history. Colombia’s diverse landscapes, from the Andes mountains to the Caribbean coast, influence its food, music, and way of life, making the country’s culture both unique and vibrant.

The evening was not just about the meal, but about celebrating the essence of Colombia. The flavors, the music, and the energy all helped bring a piece of the country to our dining hall. It was a great reminder of the beauty of cultural exchange and the connections we can make through shared experiences, no matter where we’re from. We left the dinner with full bellies and a deeper appreciation for Colombia’s rich heritage.

Dear Community of the Collège du Léman,

Every Wednesday, our dining hall takes us on a new culinary adventure, and this week, we explored the vibrant and diverse flavors of China! From sweet to savory, each dish was a delightful exploration of Chinese cuisine, offering something for every palate. The dining hall was beautifully adorned with red lanterns and delicate floral decorations, setting the perfect ambiance for our international dinner.

The menu included some classic favorites such as Sweet and Sour Chicken, Fried Shrimps, Beef with Onions, and Chinese Noodles. We also enjoyed a flavorful Stir-Fried Vegetable and Tofu dish, offering a delicious balance to the rich flavors of the meal. And, of course, no Chinese dinner is complete without a little sweetness—Fortune Cookies provided the perfect ending to our flavorful journey.

We look forward to seeing where our next international dinner will take us.

Please enjoy some photos from the evening below.

Dear Community of the Collège du Léman,

Last Monday, we decided to revisit a comforting classic—pasta with Bolognese sauce. This timeless dish, with its rich and flavorful meat sauce paired with perfectly cooked pasta, was a simple yet satisfying choice that brought a touch of nostalgia to our meal.

As always, don’t forget that our salad buffet is available to add a healthy, fresh element to your meal. It’s a great way to complement the richness of the Bolognese and enjoy a well-balanced dish.

We hope you enjoyed this classic comfort food, and we look forward to more delicious meals ahead!
