This comic book was created to instruct community members who would benefit from using solar cookers over conventional means of cooking. A solar cooker is a device that uses the energy of direct sunlight to cook food. Zanzibar is the perfect location for using solar cookers due to the amount of sunny day and daylight hours the island experiences throughout the year.
By giving examples of using the equipment from a mother’s point of view, we were able to show how easily the solar cookers could be used as an alternative cooking method in everyday life. Having been conceptualized for Zanzibar, the comic demonstrates how to make Zanzibari cuisine as well as showing how you can use the cooker to sterilize water without resorting to fuel gathering.
