"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Carefully place pastry-wrapped tenderloin, seam-side-down, on cookie sheet. Mix egg yolk and water, brush over pastry. Insert a meat thermometer through pastry into center of roast.
