Cornish, as in Cornish game hen, refers to the county of Cornwall in England. The Cornish chicken is native to Cornwall.
I think the best recipe is to grill. Grilling or roasting the corninsh hen is the best method of cooking. You can grill it in the over, or bake it. Cook until roasted is best.
The Cornish hen, or Cornish Game Hen is actually a small chicken. The primary difference between a Cornish hen and a chicken is the age at which they are processed. Cornish hens are typically butchered around 5-6 weeks, and under 2 pounds in weight. Fryer chickens are processed around 13 weeks of age.

A chicken, specifically a Cornish chicken although often crossed with other breeds. Despite the name, they are not a 'game bird' (hunted) but a domestic breed, and are not necessarily hens as both male and female chickens are served.
A game hen is a small chicken that is usually under 2 pounds in weight. It is often more flavorful and tender compared to larger chickens, making it a popular choice for roasting or grilling. Game hens are often served individually as a single portion.
NO. Most Cornish hen these days is just a very young chicken. It is all poultry. Demand for "rock Cornish hen" is high and restaurents are supplied with immature meat birds of either gender. If you are "alergic" to poultry, you would react to cornish hen as well.

One way a cornish game hen can be cooked if it is stuffed is by filling the hen with the stuffing then sprinkle it with spices like garlic or salt. The hen can then be baked in the oven at 325-400 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour, basting every 15 minutes.
