Advent

By Isabel Kliegman

Book Overview

Magic abounds in this "bewitchingly perplexing and supernaturally entertaining" (Kirkus Reviews) debut, and "readers of Susan Cooper and Alan Garner will rejoice to find... a] trilogy worthy of sharing their shelf" (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Don't miss the whole series--Anarchy and the forthcoming Arcadia

When Gavin Stokes visits an estranged family member at Pendurra, a distant estate in Cornwall, the last thing he expects is to enter a world where the consequences of an ancient betrayal are being played out. If he accepts the challenge that this new world presents, he must confront an ancient evil and the crimes of the past that have taken the form of ghosts, like Miss Grey, who has haunted him from earliest childhood, and Marina, a little girl who also lives at Pendurra, and Swanny, Marina's mother, a mermaid. What Gavin soon discovers is that magic is real...and menacingly dangerous.

Customer Reviews

excellent cookbook/recipes

I confess...I am not a true vegetarian...but I need to avoid dairy/meat/wheat and was desperate! This book has been a life saver! The mayo is fantastic...my son who is a real mayo fan, really likes it! The NotTuna salad that uses garbanzo beans, was very tasty. The Crock Cheez is great, and I served it at a family picnic. It disappeared, and none of them were aware it was made with tofu! (well, I did tell them after...

Some Great Recipes

I have not tried alot of these yet, but reading through it they are just so creative. I did try the eggless omelet and it didn't turn out so good, but I also tried the grilled cheese and it was out of this world. The grilled cheese alone makes this worthy of 5 stars, i plan on using the velvety cheese sauce in my next casserole I can't wait to try it. Being vegan is so much fun.

Great recipes!

I like the cookbook more than the Unchese Cookbook because it has more variety in how to use the yeast flakes. I LOVE the macaroni and cheese! I make something from this cookbook at least once a week and haven't tried anything that I didn't like. Great way for vegans to get B vitamins.

Lots of creative recipes

I love the taste of nutritional yeast so I was excited to get this cookbook. Its written by Red Star, the makers of one brand one nutritional yeast, so be prepared to see their name plastered throughout the book. The recipes in here are vegan - even in recipes like the mushroom soup where tofu sour cream is used. Its really good too. There are recipes for sauces (including cheez sauces), aioli, "pate", pesto, soups, salads,...

Delicious and healthy

This book is a must for all vegetarian kitchens. It has a huge variety of tasty recipes. She has sections on breakfast, breads and crackers, spreads and 'butters', dips & sauces & gravy, soups, snadwhiches, entrées, and desserts. Some of my favorite recipes include: phenomenol french toast, crock cheeze, golden yam soup, messy mikes, pasta with sweet onion and pine nuts, and the quick herb and onion focaccia.
