Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

Solar cooking is easy, free, and clean, and you can build a solar oven and a solar hot plate with a few dollars' worth of materials and hand tools. Cooking With the Sun gives simple directions for both, along with a host of recipes -- pizza, chicken, pecan pie -- that will convince you that low-tech is the way to go. Endorsed by the American Solar Energy Society and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.

Review

Cooking with the Sun is beautifully done and superb reading...very useful and inspiring. -- Jan Bayea, Chjief Scientist

Environmentalists, do-it-yourselfers, barbecues and campers should delight in this comprehensive guide for harnessing the sun's energy to prepare food. -- Public Citizen magazine

Here are intelligent instrucions for constructing and using several different solar cooking models, including recipes and information on where to buy supplies and commercial solar equipment. -- The Bloomsbury Review

Book is good but…
The book is full of useful information and it’s just as I expected. The instructions appear to be easy enough.I purchased the book under the presumption that it was “acceptable”. I understand that but how hard is it to wipe away the sticky grime on the cover? I’m completely ok with flagged corners and a crease on the front cover but the grime, it would have taken just a minute to offer a clean product. It’s gross!

This book is a reprint of what I consider a classic. I returned to the book after buying some solar cookers on the net then realized I'm better off following the clear instructions in this book than buying any of the solar cookers available at the moment.

3.0 out of 5 stars Its a book about Solar cooking...

The book is dated, and pretty much all the info in it can be found on the internet for free. The book has a lot of answers, and a few recipies, but I think after reading it that spending 150 bucks on a solar oven would be like lighting the money on fire.

Good book. Show the readers how to build different types of solar cookers. The one reason I took off a star is that the information is dated. With that said, it still is very informative and the designs work. You could use the information in this book if you went off the grid.

1.0 out of 5 stars Perhaps the worst solar cooking book ever
Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2023
Verified Purchase
So I received a GoSun solar cooker for Christmas and my birthday, and was excited to get some recipes to try out. I live in South Florida, so sun is plenty year-round. I wanted a solar cooker for the longest time to be prepared in case any hurricane hits.

This book was used - actually the condition is quite good - and at a good price, so I thought that the extra information about solar cookers would be a bonus knowledge.

However, the recipes need to be forgotten! Ms. Beth categorizes 7 chapters based on type of food - breads, vegetables, legumes and grains, casseroles, poultry and fish, meat, desserts - which is good if you have an inkling for a specific meal type. But, the recipes are instructions for a regular oven - "cover with boiling water"; "bake in muffin tins at 325F"; "saute the squash in the hot oil"; and my favorite to use "6 pounds chuck roast" for the BEST EVER BARBEQUE BEEF.

Don't waste your money because if you even think of attempting any of these recipes you would be hungry, broke, and even sick since the food would never cook. If any of you know of any real solar cooker recipes, please send them over ...
