  1. I made this tonight at our son and DIL's to use up some lovely livers she bought yesterday and we didn't want to waste. I don't eat pate, but my diners said it was wonderful-the right balance of flavours and a lovely texture. It was super simple to make and son's $220 bottle of cognac probably added to the great flavour lol. I made 1 1/2 times the recipe and shall photograph one of the delicious little ramekins of the stuff when I buy myself a new camera in the very near future! There is a tiny typo in the recipe that could ruin it for an inexperienced cook-the ingredients ask for 12 teaspoons of salt!!!! I used my brain and used 1/2 a teaspoon ;-)
