In the recipe, "Braised Calf’s Liver," liver is first skewered into shape and then prepared with carrots, celery, and onion, as well as a variety of spices, including peppercorns, parsley, bay leaves, and brown stock. Once placed in a casserole dish, it is then cooked slowly for two hours. Once cooked, the liver is removed and the leftover liquid in the casserole dish is poured over the liver as a sauce. Braised Calf's Liver can be served either hot or cold. Liver was a cheap and readily available part of beef cows, often referred to as "the poor person's meat," which demonstrates the cookbook's desire to provide affordable yet delicious meals for all readers, especially during the Great Depression.
