重要提醒

⚠️

Ensure all ingredients for the puff pastry (especially the butter) stay very cold throughout the lamination process.

⚠️

When making the mushroom duxelles, cook it until it's very dry to prevent the pastry from becoming soggy.

⚠️

Always let the Beef Wellington rest for at least 15 minutes to allow juices to redistribute, ensuring the beef stays tender.

⚠️

For the Napoleons, press plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the pastry cream while cooling to prevent a skin from forming.
