Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

2 Rock Cornish Game Hens, defr 1/4 c Sherry

Transfer hens to heated (and heatproof) serving dish. Warm brandy
in a small saucepan and ignite it. Pour over the hens and serve

If you cannot get Rock Cornish hens, use squab, poussin (very young
chicken) or quail. These birds cook more quickly, so adjust the
roasting time accordingly.
