Sharon Cousins

From Solar Cooking

Sharon Cousins builds solar cookers and cooks with sunshine in northern Idaho, at about 47 degrees north latitude and 3160 ft. altitude. She is a writer and gardener who is actively promoting solar cooking, both in her own region and in terms of getting this wonderful technology into developing nations, where the need is so great. She has had one article published on the subject, which is archived at http://www.moscowfood.coop/archive/solarovens.html and was recently interviewed for an article on her solar cooking activities in the "Neighbors" section of the "Moscow - Pullman Daily News." She is hoping to publish other articles on the subject and is available to speak to groups in her region who would like to learn more about solar cooking. Her article exploring differences between solar panel cookers and box ovens and their various strong suits will appear in the July/August issue of Back Home Magazine. She is teaching a Solar Cooking For Beginners in May 2008, which you can read about at [1]] — scroll down to Idaho—and she is also doing a solar cooking project in May with a local Roots & Shoots group.
