Aoife, 
I believe there are plenty of incidental references -- most dried
meats / fruits / fish which were not also being smoked, for example.

Yeah, technically some of the fish were more air&freeze dried than
solar-dessicated ... but even in Scandinavian / Icelandic regions
there are some solar effects.

Recent mention on this list of the North African / Arabic "eggs in a
sealed pot with onionskins" I believe described a "traditional" as
opposed to an "original" method of preparation. (check prior traffic
for details: essentially, sealed pot with water,eggs,onions)

I'm not sufficiently well-read in the surviving cookbooks / recipes,
beyond what I've gleaned from watching here, to speak at greater
length.
