‘I love it. As soon as I opened this, I felt it was Christmas.’ – Diana Henry

Advent celebrates the magical buildup to Christmas with over 100 classic German baking recipes. The Advent season is one of the most special times of the year, when candles flicker, 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 traditional German festive bakes. From lightly spiced gingerbread, 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 colorful plate and share with friends and family.

Featuring Anja’s own linocut illustrations and evocative photography, this stunning, burgundy-colored clothbound edition will be a family favorite 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.
