*this is gonna sound fat as hell, but here we go: I have no idea what beef wellington is, mainly because whenever i eat something new, I'm too busy ordering more instead of asking what it is*
"A lot. Tenderloin, ground meat for pâté, mushrooms, onions, shallots, herbs such as thyme, rosemary, and sage, butter, and pastry are just the essential ingredients. It can get a lot crazier, but I think we should go with the basics for the moment."

He holds out his hands, then pulls them back in a dragging motion. Ingredients fly out of the pantry and cold storage, setting themselves up in a mise en place (all laid out for cooking). He gets to work with the sumptuous task. Herbs and veg fly as the knives flash through the air on a magic carpet of fingertips. He moves so fast that he almost teleports from station to station, mixing and chopping the duxelles and then laying out the puff pastry and warming it supernaturally.
The tenderloin is tossed into the air in this wonderous, terrifying display, and he slathers it with pate and duxelles before covering it with thin slices of ham. It lands on the puff pastry as he pulls it into shape and scores it into the logo of the Two Story Tavern (with other, equally extravagant scoring around it) onto the surface. He then summons a shield around it and uses his fire magic to cook the wellington through the shield. He places it on a plate,
