Hilda Baci, hailing from Nigeria, had her moment in the spotlight when she was officially recognized by the Guinness Book of Records on June 13th as the reigning record holder of the cooking marathon.
Her remarkable feat involved cooking non-stop for an astonishing 93 hours and 11 minutes, an accomplishment that surpassed the previous record held by Chef Lata Tondon, who had cooked for 87 hours and 45 minutes.

Alan Fisher, the new record holder, accomplished an extraordinary 119-hour cooking marathon, eclipsing Hilda Baci’s impressive record by a significant margin.
Despite the disappointment of many Nigerians, Hilda Baci showcased her genuineness in the face of this unforeseen turn of events, offering her sincere congratulations to Alan Fisher.
