Did you look at earth ovens and the rocket stoves? I think being able to cook with just twigs would be sustainable enough for me. Solar cookers are difficult - you have to reposition them, worry about clouds, etc. I just saw another thing - cooking food by putting it in a well-insulated box! So you'd put the beans or whatever in a pot of water, bring it to a boil, and then quick put it in the box and close it up. Not sure how to tell how long until it's done, I guess that takes experience or a digital thermometer, maybe.
