Sam Brown and Tara Miller
Tara Miller and her husband, Sam Brown, first introduced solar cookers (and solar electric) to Taquile Island on Lake Titicaca Peru in 1996. Lake Titicaca is located at the northern end of the Altiplano basin, high in the Andes on the border of Peru and Bolivia. They have continued to visit every couple years, becoming godparents and developing a close and lasting relationship with the local community.
When they visit, they keep a travel blog to chronicle their adventures and solar cooking experiences on this off-grid island of UNESCO-recognized textile artists. Postings are at their Amigos de Taquile Blog. Those interested, can sign up to follow the blog and be alerted to new postings.

- December 2023: Tara Edna Miller shares a photo of fresh pink trout from Lake Titicaca baking in an ULOG style solar box oven on the Capachica Peninsula in Puna, Peru. The oven was constructed by a skilled Moreno carpenter who lives in the heights of Puno. The reflectors are made from printer plates.
