 Solar Cooking for Vegans September 24, 2005
24 out of 28 found this review helpful
In searching for books on solar cooking, I am interested in recipes for omnivores. I have never purchased tofu or textured protein, and never will. I was very disappointed with this book; Ms. Kofalk stated that even though she isn't a vegan vegetarian herself, she wrote a vegan cookbook so as to not offend. Funny thing is, I am rather offended. This cookbook is of no use to me.
Also, I can't help but feel that Ms. Kofalk is perpetuating an image that only left-leaning, naturalist vegan vegetarians will be interested in solar cooking. It seems that in this age of diminishing resources, more and more meat-eaters will be interested in harnessing the sun's power, too.
Okay cookbook - ALL VEGETARIAN April 13, 2005
25 out of 27 found this review helpful
The author notes "Because I am a vegetarian, all recipies are without meat, fish, or eggs." Many of the recipes call for "Bragg Liquid Aminos", which is a soybean-derived amino acid supplement.
If you aren't a vegetarian, the recipes are of limited value.
There are instructions for constructing your own solar oven, but most of the material is available for free from various Web sites. Overall, I don't feel that the book is worth the price.
