BREAKING: Nigeria’s Hilda Baci Breaks Guinness World Record For Longest Cooking Time

A Nigerian chef, Hilda Baci, has broken the Guinness World Record for ‘longest cooking time’ by an individual.

Hilda, 27, broke the record after she surpassed Indian chef Lata Tandon, who set a Guinness World Record for cooking for 87 hours and 45 minutes non-stop in 2019 to become the new “Guinness World Record” holder.

Hilda broke the record on Monday, May 15, at 7:45 am

The Akwa Ibom state-born chef started cooking on the 11th of May and she intends to cook for 96 hours to set a new record.

The cooking project which she tagged “Cook-a-thon”, has garnered the support of many Nigerians including politicians and celebrities.

On Sunday, the Vice president of Nigeria Yemi Osinbajo, and Akwa Ibom Governor, Udom Emmanuel, called her on the phone to encourage her to persevere and not give up.
