   Calf's  Liver

         Not all the bodies know how to cook liver, so listen my children
   and you shall hear.  D'abord, have your butcher to skin the liver
   and slice it about 3/8 of an inch thick.  Liver must be utterly
   fresh, and from young animals, not veterans.  Best way is pan
   broiled:  Salt, pepper and flour your liver slices, and saute them
   in a little butter in a hot pan, exactly 2 minutes on each side. 
   Have a clock with a second hand where you can see it, and do not
   exceed this cooking time.  When the second side is done, sprinkle
   the liver with a bit of lemon juice, dust with paprika and RUN to
   the table with it.  If you employ a garnish, such as bacon or onion,
   have these ready in advance, and kept hot.

  Do you have a recipe for vena calda- italian hot pot? 
  How about pasta incasciata pie? 
  Thanks. 
  Camille 

Hi Camille,

No luck on the "vena calda." No Italian hot pot recipes. That doesn't sound like a true traditional Italian recipe. It's not mentioned in any of our Italian food dictionaries or encyclopedias or cookbooks. It must be something original invented by a particular chef.

Better luck on the pasta incasciata. It's usually rendered as "pasta 'ncasciata". "Incasciata" literally means "in a box", but in a recipe, it means "bound up with cheese." The first recipe below is the only one that I could find in English. The second one below is in Italian and also contains eggplant - "melanzane", like the English recipe. The bottom recipe, also in Italian, is also called "pasta 'ncasciata", but it doesn't contain eggplant, so I thought I'd send it on.

Phaed

2013 Update: Still no "vena calda." The only thing with that name is some sort of industrial equipment. Google translates "vana calda" as "hot streak" rather than "hot pot". It translates "hot pot" as "piatto caldo". I am now, however, finding recipes called "Italian Hot Pot". They are not consistent - some are only vegetables and some are sausages and/or chicken.
