This evening, as it is the night before the Persian Nowruz celebration, Iranian food was on the menu in the Collège du Léman cafeteria! Fragrant rice, tender lamb and delicious slow-cooked vegetables were on offer, taking our taste buds to Iran to experience the deep and layered flavours of their national cuisine. The food was enjoyed by all and great fun was had, with the boys continuing to enjoy their culinary tour of the world from within the school.

“This year, I spent Nowruz far from home, but the warmth of my Persian friends, Paria, Kia, and Emir, made it feel special. Though we were away from traditional celebrations, we still found a way to welcome the new year together. Instead of a classic Nowruz feast, we indulged in steak and pasta—an unexpected but delicious way to mark the occasion. Between laughter, stories, and reminiscing about past celebrations, we created our own version of Nowruz, blending cultures and making new memories. It wasn’t the usual setting, but with good friends and good food, it still felt like a fresh and joyful beginning.” Seyed
