Editorial Reviews: Product Description Harness the sun's power to cook your food! Here are more than three dozen recipes for everything from soup to baked goods that can all be cooked by the sun. Simple instructions and diagrams for making an inexpensive solar cooker are included.

Customer Reviews: Solar Cooking November 16, 2008 This is a neat little book, very informative and even tells you how to build and use the solar oven. I didn't realize it was so easy! I'm happy I bought it! I thought it was a very good book! September 28, 2008 While I do agree that Amazon really should have posted this as a vegetarian book (It would have sold better that way), I thought it was a wonderful book that really gives one a good idea on solar cooking. To the naysayers out there, I say this. Solar ovens vary in temperature (I have seen them anywhere from 250-350 degrees or more). Unless you know the temperature of your oven, you shouldn't be cooking meat anyway... for obvious reasons. It should be common sense that there will be no magic cookbook to teach you how to make rump roast in a solar oven because there isn't a writer on the planet that can determine the temperature of every single solar oven in use in each different hemisphere on the planet. I have always used my own recipes. My suggestion to those who wish to cook meat in your solar oven is to use a glass lid and keep an easily read thermometer in the meat. You can always paint most of the lid black if that is your preference, but I have used the glass lids with just as much success as the solid black metal lids. Good information August 9, 2006 2 out of 2 found this review helpful This book gives detailed information on making and using a solar oven. It even tells you how to can tomatoes and fruit in a solar oven with success. Solar Cooking for Vegans September 24, 2005 24 out of 29 found this review helpful In searching for books on solar cooking, I am interested in recipes for omnivores. I have never purchased tofu or textured protein, and never will. I was very disappointed with this book; Ms. Kofalk stated that even though she isn't a vegan vegetarian herself, she wrote a vegan cookbook so as to not offend. Funny thing is, I am rather offended. This cookbook is of no use to me. Also, I can't help but feel that Ms. Kofalk is perpetuating an image that only left-leaning, naturalist vegan vegetarians will be interested in solar cooking. It seems that in this age of diminishing resources, more and more meat-eaters will be interested in harnessing the sun's power, too. Okay cookbook - ALL VEGETARIAN April 13, 2005 26 out of 28 found this review helpful The author notes "Because I am a vegetarian, all recipies are without meat, fish, or eggs." Many of the recipes call for "Bragg Liquid Aminos", which is a soybean-derived amino acid supplement. If you aren't a vegetarian, the recipes are of limited value. There are instructions for constructing your own solar oven, but most of the material is available for free from various Web sites. Overall, I don't feel that the book is worth the price.
