Guinness World Records (GWR) on Tuesday announced Hilda Effiong Bassey, popularly known as Hilda Baci the new record holder for the longest cooking by an individual in the world.
“Following a thorough review of all the evidence, Guinness World Records can now confirm that Hilda Effiong Bassey, better known as Hilda Baci, has officially broken the record for the longest cooking marathon (individual), with a time of 93 hours 11 minutes,” the GWR said in a statement on its website.
The 26-year-old Nigerian chef began on Thursday 11 May and continued through to Monday 15 May, cooking over 100 pots of food during her four-day kitchen stint.
Hilda attempted to set a record of 100 hours, however, six hours 49 minutes were deducted from her final total because she mistakenly took extra minutes for one of her rest breaks at the early stage of the attempt.
We say congratulations to Hilda.
