A GEM FULL OF DELIGHTFUL AND USEFUL HINTS FOR THE TRAVELER

Ms. Hyman has provided the traveller a beautiful book full of wonderful restaurants and descriptions useful while visiting in Britain and Ireland. My wife and I had Ms. Hyman's book at our side while travelling to Ireland last year and to Britain this year. Not only does she provide local recipes and the names of delightful restaurants but she includes comments about the local area which these travelers found extremely useful. We stayed a week in the Cottswalds this year and our travels and dining were based on the recommendations of Ms. Hyman. We then spent a week in London and followed suit there. She led us to wonderful experiences we would not otherwise have found!
