AULD ALLIANCE: FRENCH ROQUEFORT CHEESE AND SCOTCH WHISKY PATE
The Auld Alliance is a series of historic friendship treaties between Scotland and France, first signed in 1295, as well as a traditional cheese and whisky pâté. This is the ORIGINAL simple cheese cream recipe, straight from the historic Overscaig B&B in Sutherland. Delicious served as a cream pâté for the first course, or at the end of a meal as a savoury. From the book "A Feast of Scotland" by Janet Warren. Prep time includes chill time.

Steps:
- Pound the cheese to a thick cream. Add drop by drop as much whisky as it will 'drink' to make a firm cream.
- Pack into small earthenware pots or ramekins and chill in the fridge for 3 to 4 hours.
- Serve the pâté with hot buttered toast, water crackers, or oatcakes, and seasonal fresh fruits or vegetables. Also a great appetizer filling, and a delicious topping for steak!

ROQUEFORT BUTTER
Steps:
- Place the butter and Roquefort cheese in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix on medium speed until smooth. Add the scallions and mix until combined. Cut a strip of parchment paper 4 1/2 inches wide and place the mixture on the short end of the paper. Roll into a log about 1 inch in diameter, rolling the parchment paper around the butter mixture. Chill.
CREAMY CHICKEN LIVER PâTé
French pâté is in fact easier to make than my grandmother's chopped liver, which called for rendering chicken fat. Here, you just soften onions in butter, cook the livers, cool, purée and refrigerate. You don't have to bother with soaking the livers in milk, a step found in many recipes. Season aggressively: you want to taste the pepper, the coriander, the brandy and even the allspice and clove. Finally, cook the liver quickly, over pretty high heat. What you want is to brown the outside while keeping the inside pink. This, perhaps, is another major difference between pâté and chopped liver, in which the livers are almost always cooked to death.

Steps:
- In a spice grinder or clean coffee grinder, combine peppercorns, allspice, clove and coriander seeds; grind until fine and set aside.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium-high heat; when foam subsides, add onion and cook until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add livers to pan and sprinkle with salt; cook livers on one side until they begin to brown, about 2 minutes, then flip them and cook the other side. Be sure to keep heat relatively high so that the outside of livers sears and inside stays pink.
- Put onion, livers and their buttery juices into a food processor or blender with remaining butter, the cream, spices and brandy. Purée mixture until it is smooth; taste and adjust seasoning.
- Put pâté in a terrine or bowl, smooth top and put in refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours or until fully set. Serve pâté with bread or crackers.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Line a 12-by-18-inch baking pan with parchment paper. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry to a thickness of one-eighth inch, approximately the size of the baking sheet. Sprinkle the parchment lightly with water and place the rolled pastry on the sheet. Poke the dough with a fork all over. Bake for 12 minutes or until golden. When baked, remove the pastry with the parchment to a wire rack and allow to cool.
- Using the paddle of a mixing machine, blend three-quarters of a pound of Roquefort with the cream cheese until smooth. Fold in the mascarpone and port. Set aside. Crumble the remaining Roquefort and set aside.
- Using a sharp serrated knife, cut the pastry crosswise into six equal strips, each about 2 inches by 10 inches.
- Peel the pear and slice into one-quarter-inch thin "sheets."
- Using a long metal spatula, coat one strip of pastry with a thin layer of the cheese mixture. Place a single layer of pears over the cheese and coat the pears with more cheese mixture. Place another strip on top and coat with the cheese mixture. Sprinkle with crumbled Roquefort and coat with more cheese mixture; cover with a final strip of pastry. Repeat once more with the remaining pastry strips and set aside. (Extra cheese mixture can be used as a spread on crackers.)
- In a small bowl, whisk the creme fraiche with the heavy cream and set aside. Lightly dust the top surfaces of the pastry with paprika through the mesh of a fine sieve. Dip the tines of a fork into the cream mixture and rapidly drizzle the cream over the top. Sprinkle with the chopped walnuts. Cut into one-inch widths for hors d'oeuvres or into six triangles as a first course or cheese course.
