The Guinness World Records has come under scrutiny for allegedly neglecting to acknowledge and promote the remarkable cooking achievement of Chef Hilda Baci.
Hilda Baci, a renowned Nigerian chef, made headlines on Monday morning as she shattered the Guinness World Record for the longest continuous cooking session.
Previously, the record for the longest cooking marathon was held by Indian Chef Lata Tondon, who had cooked meals for an astounding 87 hours, 45 minutes, and 00 seconds.
However, Chef Baci, who is still cooking at the time of writing this report, has already surpassed that milestone by cooking for an astounding 91 hours.
Initially setting out to break Tondon’s record, Chef Baci achieved her goal at approximately 7:46 a.m. on Monday morning, much to the delight of onlookers and supporters.
However, she was not content with just surpassing the previous record; instead, she aimed to cook for more than 96 hours, further cementing her place in culinary history.
Throughout her culinary marathon, Chef Baci has garnered significant attention and support from Nigerians across the country.
Spectators have been eagerly following her progress, and her live video streams have captured the excitement and enthusiasm of the audience. The atmosphere has been electrifying, with people cheering and shouting their admiration for the talented chef.
The cook-a-thon has also served as a unifying force, bringing together individuals from various walks of life. Nigerians from all backgrounds have congregated at Chef Baci’s cooking station, creating an inclusive and celebratory environment.
Acknowledging the widespread interest and excitement surrounding Chef Baci’s record attempt, the Guinness World Records recently took to social media to address the situation.
In their statement, they affirmed their awareness of the remarkable feat and assured the public that they are meticulously reviewing all the evidence before officially confirming the record.
“we’re aware of this amazing record attempt, we need to review all the evidence first before officially confirming a record,” Guinness World Records wrote.
