SunOvenCookbook.com exists for one purpose: to help you get the most out of your Sun Oven - whether you’re cooking off-grid, reducing energy use at home, or simply enjoying the adventure of solar cooking.
Our mission is to make solar cooking approachable, practical, and delicious for everyone.
Where It All Began
More than a decade ago, a dedicated member of the Sun Ovens International, Inc. (SOI) team set herself a bold challenge: use a Sun Oven every single day for an entire year.
She documented the experience in the form of a personal diary - experimenting, learning, and developing an incredible collection of recipes along the way. That archive later became the Original Sun Oven Cookbook, a beloved resource for thousands of solar-cooking enthusiasts.
In 2024, the original cookbook was discontinued due to the rising costs of traditional publishing. However, we've kept that spirit, and availability, alive by partnering with Amazon.com to offer the book in a new print-to-order format. See the book on Amazon here.
A New Edition for a New Era
In 2024, in partnership with Sun Ovens International, Inc., the team at AIM Retail Partners developed the Sun Oven Cookbook — 2nd Edition, a completely re-edited and reorganized collection built for modern readers.
The second edition is:
✅ Smaller and easier to use
✅ Better edited for clarity and consistency
✅ Focused exclusively on recipes suitable for off-grid environments (while still perfect for everyday home cooking)
This edition preserves the heart of the original while enhancing its practicality for today’s solar cooks, homesteaders, preppers, and eco-minded families.
