"For the stone from the top for geologists, the knowledge of the limits of endurance for the doctors, but above all for the spirit of adventure to keep alive the soul of man." - George Mallory

In 1953, Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay became the first two people to reach the summit of the highest peak on Earth - Mount Everest. Yet, they were far from the first people who had attempted to do so.

Join Chef Money as he takes you through a trio of British Everest Expeditions that occurred over a century ago, as well as introduces you to one of history's most famous mountaineers - George Mallory.

As a featured recipe, the Chef is swapping out his Chef toque for a bakers cap, and set deliver an Everest sized treat. Similar to reaching the summit of the mountain, this recipe isn't a walk in the park.

Listen along to Part 1 of 2 in order to receive the list of ingredients you'll need to make "The Everest Eclair."

Cheers!

Listen for the three recipes. Directions to come in episode 2.
