What if there was a year-round method of cooking that was low cost, powered by sunlight, non-polluting, and easy to do even in college dorms, apartment balconies and off-the-grid locations? There is: Solar Cooking. Solar cooking is easy everywhere in the U.S., and as far north as Canada, and as far south as Australia.
