It take much longer to cook things in the hills than in the plane, because:

A)  In the hills the atmospheric temperature is low and therefore a lot of heat is lost to the atmosphere

B)  In the hills the atmospheric pressure is lower than that in the plains and therefore water boils at lower temperature

C)  In the hills the humid atmosphere absorbs a lot of heat, leaving very little for the cooking

D)  Due to low atmospheric pressure in the hills the boiling point of water is raised and therefore water takes longer to boil
