Hilda Baci, a chef from Nigeria, is on track to shatter the record for the “longest cooking time” by an individual.
The chef, who was born in the state of Akwa Ibom, began preparing meals on May 11 and is close to breaking the record for the longest cooking session in the Guinness Book of Records.
Miss Baci, 27-year-old has prepared food for over 80 hours and counting so far. She gave the culinary effort the hashtag “Cook-a-thon,” which is a play on the term “marathon.”
The current holder of the title Hilda seeks to break is an Indian chef Lata Tandon, who set a Guinness World Record for cooking for 87 hours and 45 minutes non-stop in 2019.
Hilda is set to cook for 96 hours with just 6 hours of rest time and has about 18 hours left to break the Guinness World Record.
Many Nigerians have shown support for the chef including celebrities like actress Iyabo Ojo, Tonto Dikeh, Comedian Macaroni, actor Ike Ogbonna, and Tobi Bakre amongst others.
