extreme places in europe that you shouldn't miss if you like to copy them and view it struck just go to our website for all didn't details when i go hiking i get hungry very quickly so i usually take some sandwiches with me bread butter cheese that's it's well some people are a bit more ambitious than i am they like to cook at recourse neil out in the wilds dead you would normally only find in a very fancy restaurant i would be much too lazy to go to all that effort but mark them are showing how it's. it's still early morning when marcus semma heads up into the mountains this time for a new adventure in the alps the very an extreme athlete loves lonely trails.
8:47 am
but once he's reached the mountain top he's not content with a simple snack he treats himself to some homemade news me with fresh blueberries. even in the mountains is a real pleasure especially when you have fresh ingredients and it's like fresh farmers. are all made mostly where you know exactly what's in it you need energy for mountaineering and that's why i think you should prepare as much of your own food as possible marcus m. as a trained cook who used to work in munich's high class restaurants he always liked to take time off for travelling around the world one day as he decided to combine his 2 major passions in life cooking and adventuring now he publishes books on cool may outdoor cuisine and today against this amazing backdrop he's preparing fresh water is a starter followed by venice insulting baka with forrest mushroom risotto he's

8:49 am
he can't predict how long the drive force mushroom and rice will need to boil as that depends on the outer tube. to hire a car the lower the air pressure highest that means my broth boils on a far lower temperature and in extreme case say 8000 meters of water boils at just 60 degrees celsius the problem there is some food doesn't cut properly today he says now to do 1700 meters so preparing the result isn't an issue cooking times for the venison wrapped in satan have also depend on the outer to get there with enough patience mountaineers could prepare meat even in the himalayas and the south and boca looks almost as good as in a 5 star restaurant with their movements by looking at the mountains isn't always as easy as it looked today. but it certainly fun trying new things by combining the
