Advent is a cookbook that celebrates that magical time in the run-up to Christmas - when we have an excuse to bake spiced biscuits and cakes, when the evocative smells of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves fill the kitchen. Most of our favourite festive bakes originate in one place - Germany. German Christmas markets date back as early as the 1300s and their Christmas traditions have influenced many of the rituals and practices that we follow today in the west - from Christingle to Lebkuchen, Gluhwein and Stollen, these have been adopted by many people as a part of their own beloved Advent traditions. In this beautiful book Anja Dunk presents over 100 classic German baking recipes. Illustrated throughout with the author's own photography and artworks, and with a luxurious cloth cover complete with foil finishes, this is a stunning, comforting book that will be a family favourite for many years to come.
