[Johnna Holloway]

There's a recipe in Scappi for how to cook them.
page 157 in the Scully translation.
45. To make bresaola of lean veal, fried or grilled

Page 556 recipe 46 To prepare braised veal Bresaola

Anyway Bresaola is mentioned 15 times in the text. You can use Google  
books to locate the mentions.
