While intensely sweet, this coffee is one of the delightful
surprises of Fania Lewando's Vegetarian Cookbook, forthcoming with the help of heaven this year. This is a
delicious hot foamy drink. The yolks are, if anything, a more perfect companion
to coffee than cream, yielding a satiny non-dairy alternative to cappuccino. At first I thought adding some cream would make it even better, but it is entirely unnecessary. The coffee and yolks are perfect on their own.

Coffee with Egg Yolks
Brew coffee from one cup of water and three tablespoons good
ground coffee. Beat two egg yolks with
two tablespoons sugar until pale, and pour in the brewed coffee, whisking constantly.
A gut morgn aikh! I have a yiddish/food question I was hoping you could answer... My mother used to make fluffy little "dumplings"(flour,egg,salt)that she added to her chicken soup at the last moment before serving. I do the same. I cannot remember what she called them. do you have any idea? She was from Liteh. thanks, I enjoy your blog. Shaina
ReplyDeleteCoffee with egg yolks? That sounds too much like food. I think of coffee as a post-food part of the meal.
ReplyDeleteShaina,
ReplyDeleteWhat your mother made are called "mandlen." Fania has a recipe for these too. I will put it up when I can.
San Lao Qiao,
ReplyDeleteIt is not too much like food; you would like this very much.
to Shaina and Chocolate Lady,
ReplyDeleteI believe it should be spelled Mandeln (Suppemandeln). Israelis made a staple out of them - you will get them with any soup in homes in Israel, as well as in the Hummus Place in NY City. Try the industrial version by Osem, to be found in most kosher sections of grocery stores. I think that the English name for them is Soup Almonds, but maybe it is just "croutons".
HADAS.
Hadas again: I came by this page when reading an article in an Israeli website about Fanya Lewando Vegetarian cookbook - it had a link to this page. here is the link to the article:

the link to your page appears in the paragraph following the photo of the cover of the English translation of the book.
I think we know each other from English dancing!
