From the Candle 79 Cookbook: This versatile and rich-tasting pate is an all-time favorite appetizer at Candle 79 in New York City. It's lovely to serve at a party with cocktails or a crisp, organic white wine. Spoon it onto crostini made with your favorite bread or onto crackers, or serve it alongside a crudite platter.
