Nadia Sammut, the first starred chef – in the world to offer gluten-free cuisine – from the Auberge de la Fenière in Cadenet and co-founder of Komandsal has just installed the Sunchef Pro, an oven with a 36 liter capacity cylinder that can heat up to 200° using solar energy. But will this solar oven be able to appeal to chefs?
During a meeting in February with solar energy professionals, Nadia Sammut –1 star et a green star in the Michelin guide– decides to acquire the Sunchef Pro solar oven -with vacuum tube technology- and the Omy solar dryer from Solar Brother to test the impact of solar energy on its vegetable cuisine.
In the middle of nature
“I quickly began to do tests with the desire to place plants in the middle of nature, so that they evolve gently with natural energies. Very quickly, I was able to identify a positive impact on the taste and evolution of the ingredients in the oven. It quickly found its place in the preparation of our dishes this summer at our Auberge.”

“With the oven, we were able to work on cooking fish, on vegetables such as tomatoes or eggplants, on roasting fats, on brioches… the taste and harmony that resulted were completely crazy,” relates Nadia Sammut who says she uses the oven during lessons with her students.
