the education center also acts as a solar restaurant, serving food that has been prepared with solar cookers and ovens.

the chef said that preparing pasta or a rice dish does not take much longer than with traditional means (wood ovens) provided the sun is not covered by clouds. the food I got (a rice dish) was delicious.

for the local men solar cookers save hours of work spent collecting and taking in fire wood, not to mention the benefit for the forest.
