There are hundreds of cookbooks in the world which require grills, stoves, microwaves or campfires. The Solar Ranch in Arabela, New Mexico presents us with a cookbook full of recipes that use a different source of heat - the sun. "The Solar Chef" is a southwestern recipe book full of recipes and instructions for cooking delicious meals using only sunlight and a solar box cooker. Written in a casual style, author Rose Kern shows you a new way of blending culinary art with sustainable living attitudes. The book contains more than 75 recipes, which extend from quiche to dessert. We have included this book on our site because it supports the implementation of solar cooking and, as such, encourages a sustainable lifestyle.
