The mountains, museums, historic homes, villages, lakes and trails make these areas the perfect autumn destinations for British travellers who want to go overseas with fewer risks. In addition to traveI, Claire also writes about food and is the author of five cookbooks, including New England Cooking: Seasons and Celebrations (W.W. Norton). She is available for article assignments on American food, and is currently developing pieces on fish recipes from Maine, American pies, and maple syrup.
