'
I love it. As soon as I opened this, I felt it was Christmas.' - Diana Henry
Advent celebrates the magical run-up to Christmas with over 100 classic German baking recipes. The Advent season is one of the most special times of the year, when candles twinkle, the Christmas tree is decorated, and the smells of cinnamon, nutmeg and clove fill the kitchen.
In the modern classic
Advent, Anja Dunk shares her recipes for the very best of traditional German festive bakes. From lightly spiced
Lebkuchen, frosted cinnamon stars, jam-filled ginger hearts, snow-capped coconut macaroons, to marzipan-filled
Stollen, edible tree decorations, lucky meringue mushrooms and a gingerbread house dripping with candies and sugar icicles, you will find delectable spiced treats to fill your
Bunter Teller and share with friends and family.
Featuring Anja's own linocut illustrations and evocative photography, this stunning, burgundy-coloured clothbound edition will be a family favourite for many years to come. The weeks of Advent hold all the sweet, almost unbearable anticipation of Christmas for days on end and this gorgeous book embraces that fairy-tale feeling within its pages.
