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.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

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!

Bom apetite!

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!

 

“Piccata de poulet”

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?

Bonne Chandeleur!

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.

Xin Nian Kuai Le! means Happy New Year!

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).
