Cornish Pastie Tradition Lives On

Cousin Jenny’s Cornish Pasties provides delicious breakfast or lunch for all tastes, including authentic Cornish pasties, soups, salads and sandwiches, delivered with old-fashioned personal service in a comfortable atmosphere since 1979.

            Owners Jerilyn and Nick de Boer say, “At Cousin Jenny’s, we do things a little bit differently. Each and every pastie is as unique as your experience, and is handmade with love each morning. Over the years, we’ve added more flavors and styles to our menu, but one thing has always remained the same: quality. Each pastie is made fresh by hand each morning, using only the highest-quality ingredients available. We even use local ingredients! All of our potatoes are grown right here in Michigan and arrive fresh from farms in the Kalkaska area.” Pasties are never frozen or reheated before they are served.

            Although Cornish pasties originated in the 14th century, they have added their own unique spin to bring them into the 21st century. In addition to the traditional steak pastie, the menu includes modern pasties like the German, the Italian or the Veggie. Pasties can be served with Dynamite Sauce or sour cream.
