The Art of Solar and Thermal Cooking: Sun Ovens, Retained Heat, Hayboxes, Rocket Stoves, and Low-Fuel Meals for Everyday Life and Emergencies
by R. A. Calkins
Currently free on Kindle
"...Rather than depending on one appliance or one emergency method, this book teaches a complete household approach to alternative cooking. You will learn how sunlight, stored heat, insulated cookers, thermos cooking, rocket stoves, and carefully planned low-fuel meals can work together to keep food on the table during ordinary days, power outages, emergencies, and off-grid situations.
...This is also a food book, not merely an equipment manual. It includes practical recipes, meal patterns, and cooking applications for rice, lentils, beans, soups, stews, oats, couscous, pasta, vegetables, potatoes, eggs, breads, cornbread, casseroles, fruit dishes, pantry meals, and other satisfying foods suited to solar, retained-heat, thermos, and low-fuel preparation. An entire chapter is devoted to recipes and meal patterns for sunlight, stored heat, and small amounts of fuel.
...Everything needed to understand and apply the methods is contained within the book itself. The instruction, recipes, safety guidance, equipment information, troubleshooting, planning systems, and reference material are presented directly in the text, so there are no outside PDF downloads or pictures required.
Whether you are preparing for outages, building an off-grid cooking system, conserving fuel, experimenting with solar cooking, or simply becoming a more resourceful household cook, The Art of Solar and Thermal Cooking offers a clear, practical path toward turning available heat into dependable, satisfying meals."

I know this book won't be for everyone. But maybe anyone at all interested in the things I described or who doesn't think they can live without their slow cooker might at least find it an interesting read. What have you got to lose (seeing as it's free)?
