Thanksgiving For story and photography by RENEE KOHLMAN
Traditional Thanksgiving typically means a giant spread, complete with turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, stuffing, a couple of veg, maybe a salad, and the grand finale is almost always pumpkin pie. But maybe this year you’re downsizing and it’s just you and your sweetheart, or your grandma...or your cat.

For a delicious dinner on a much smaller scale, ever so elegant Cornish hens steal the show. Commercial Cornish hens are a hybridized breed, made by crossing Plymouth Rock chickens with Cornish chickens. Those found in the grocery store are typically called Rock Cornish Hens and weigh between 1-2½ Kg. Predominantly white meat, they don’t taste gamey, and have a more delicate flavour. Super cute in their singleserving size, you may just create a new Thanksgiving tradition.
