Yes! This has been my question all along. A fancy, traditional beef wellington, with it's many steps and layers, is indeed a "special meal". Individual pies, less impressive, and you wouldn't follow a specific beef wellington recipe for them.
Didn't count on a witness surviving.
Plus wrapping tight in gladwrap and chilling to firm between each step.A Recipe Tin photo showed a slice of beef wellington with gravy poured on it.
Erin referred to using the Recipe Tin recipe to her online friends.
Ian said, in his testimony, that there might have been a jug of gravy on the table.
If you watch the video, you will see that there probably isn't any way to make the duxelle stick uniformly to the beef unless it is spread on the crepe and the beef is rolled up in the crepe. First lining the crepe with prosciutto or ham would stop the mushroom mix making the crepe soggy, and making the pastry soggy - and would make the crepe a big stronger for the rolling process.

Beef Wellington
It took loads of attempts but I’m proud to say I’ve finally cracked one of the trickiest of haute cuisine classics, the grand Beef Wellington. The result is incredibly juicy, edge-to-edge rose pink beef encasedwww.recipetineats.com
And what’s up with mixing different pastries, including some phyllo dough?

Before the trial I just assumed it was one.. so when it came out that they were individual serves, that made it even more suspicious IMO!

His child support payments although extremely low, would be calculated on Erin's income as well as his, wouldn't they? She does receive rental payments on at least one of her properties from what I've heard somewhere. I do think he should have at least paid half of their son's medical expense and I do think that he took advantage of her re her loans to his siblings. However, it's still no reason to wipe half of his family out...So many lies from her and changes in her story
“She said that Don and Gail had been like the parents she hadn’t had; her parents had died quite some time ago,” she told the jury.
“She cared and loved them very much
But then she says ...

Messages allegedly sent from an account linked to Erin Patterson described her estranged husband, Simon, as a “deadbeat” dad and his parents as “a lost cause”, with one post declaring “I’m sick of thisem’: Erin’s expletive rants about in-laws shown to court
Both things can be true: that he's a deadbeat and that she's allegedly a murderer.
Simon only paid $40 in child support a month. He claimed half her inheritance, half the money his siblings borrowed, was paid to him, and he stopped paying school fees
Her in-laws weren't supporting her
All this would have been a state of suppressed anger that's building up inside of her
The real catch is that neither she nor her kids died or even got sick, yet they supposedly all ate the same meal.
Under false pretences, she lured her in-laws to her house under a false cancer diagnosis
But for someone who is into true crime, you’d think that she’d do a way better job of covering her tracks.
The more that's coming out makes it highly unlikely, in my view this was an accident
