Solar Oven Recipes

This page is currently being moved to a new blog I've started.

It has been four years since I first published my solar recipes in June 2011, and, by way of thanks to all those who, over the years have supported me, on that new blog I will offer all the recipes at no charge.

Please be patient whilst I get it up and running.

If you would like to know when the blog is up and running, please go to the new blog - hit the followers button, or follow by e-mail, or bloglovin.

Thanks - and see you there :)



NB:  ****My solar recipe blog with the recipes can be found at "Free From the Sun"****



------------------------------


I am thrilled to announce that I have finally finished transcribing all my solar oven recipes for my first solar oven cookbook, "Free from the Sun".  I have (for ease of sending it to you via a (smaller) e-mail .pdf attachment) divided the recipes into the following six categories:

1 Solar Eggs and Soups (to purchase as one .pdf)
2 Solar Bread, Biscuits and Cakes (to purchase as one .pdf)
3 Solar Chicken (to purchase as one .pdf)
4 Solar Meat (to purchase as one .pdf)
5 Solar Vegetables and Vegetarian (to purchase as one .pdf)
6 Solar Desserts (to purchase as one .pdf)

There are 170 recipes within those 6 categories.

Given the state of the world's economy, I have tried to keep it affordable - but please bear in mind I have given approximately 240 (shoulder / neck-hurting) hours to deciphering my food-splattered scrawls and typing out these recipes.  Cooking time involved - I have no idea!

I must also add, though, that I have included a few recipes which I have come across on the Net and which I have tweaked – adding other local ingredients, actually stating cooking temperatures, or advising on the duration of cooking time. These recipes invariably came from organizations which promote the use of solar cooking and / or sell solar ovens. 

I have separated the sections, because I am aware I have some fellow Vegetarians out there, whom I know, and understand, would not be interested in getting meat recipes.  Included with each recipe purchased I will send you the "Introduction to Solar Cooking.pdf"

Finally, given the amount of time / work I have given to this, could I ask you to please respect my effort and not copy / distribute to friends / family members.

Thank you - hopefully the detail in these recipes will increase your confidence and encourage the use of your solar oven. Enjoy using your solar ovens - they are the way forward on this planet.

  1. I've very much enjoyed having all these recipes plus solar cooking pointers at my finger tips. I didn't plant zucchini but when my neighbor dropped by with a shopping bag full, suggested zucchini bread (after seeing my dismayed face, I suppose). I immediately went to your solar breads, biscuits, and cakes, and there it was - zucchini bread! Very yummy, I might add.

  2. You should self-publish the complete package as a Kindle book for even more exposure.

    1. Cassie - Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to leave a comment.

      I decided not to self-publish (viz. an e-book) because that option is very expensive in this country. I was trying to keep the costs as low as possible. But, thank you for the suggestion :)

  3. Your recipes titles look delicious but the links to the recipes won't work.

Thank you for taking the time to comment - it makes my day and removes the "loneliness' of sitting at my screen blogging supposedly to myself ;) I try and reply as quickly as possible so please forgive me if sometimes my response is delayed.
