          Seesiang, those ingredients for Beef Wellington, not Turnedo Rossini

          • SEESIANG says:

            Dear Esfir, they are :p. Foie Gras and Black Truffes are main ingredients for Rossini of course ! I do not know what kind of filet Wellington u make (I make that too sometimes) but with these two ingredients, foie Gras and Truffes, it must be a very exclusive and special one à la Rossini !
