I’m looking for a cookbook that contained a recipe “pate in pastry.”  I actually hand written the entire recipe and I still have it.  I believe this was in the early 1980s.  I’d love to find that book!!!!!  It included a cream cheese pastry recipe.  Anyone have any idea where I could find this book???

I am sure there are at least dozens of books with pâté en croûte recipes out there. It is going to be difficult to pin down with such scant detail. Do you remember anything else?

Good luck!  The cream cheese pastry is interesting and might help someone recognize it.  

 

I own Terrines, Pâtés & Galantines from the Time-Life Good Cook series, Pâtés and Terrines by Friedrich Ehlert, Christian Teubner et al, and Jane Grigson's Charcuterie and French Pork Cookery and none of them have a cream cheese pastry.  Nor do any of the recipes named "Paté in Pastry" in cookbooks indexed on Eat Your Books.  

Julia Child puts cream cheese IN her chicken liver paté in Mastering the Art of French Cooking and Julia Child and More Company but neither are encased in a pastry.

I am so thankful for all that have been searching this recipe for me.  Just so you know, it has found by a friend that I used to cook with many years ago.  It was from The COOK’S Magazine, the Nov/Dec 1983 issue.

 

Thank you all.
