Nigerian Chef Hilda Baci Breaks Guinness World Record for Longest Cooking Marathon.
Hilda Baci, a Nigerian chef, has broken the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking marathon by an individual. She cooked for over 87 hours and 50 minutes, beating the previous record of 87 hours and 45 minutes.
Baci started her cooking marathon on Thursday, May 12, 2023, at 4pm. She cooked various dishes, including Nigerian Jollof Rice, Egusi Soup, and Pounded Yam. She also cooked international dishes, such as Chicken Alfredo and Spaghetti Bolognese.
