A renowned foodpreneur Hilda Effiong Bassey best known as Hilda Baci hammered the Guinness world record for the longest cooking marathon this Monday morning.
The young Nigerian Chef has surely withstood the tension to give up and has broken the 87 hours 45 minutes record set in 2019 by the now-former Guinness World Record holder, Lata Tondon.
Her run is far from over, as she intends to cook nonstop for 96 hours, with an extra 9 hours to rest.
According to the videos seen by Look UP Digital, the 27-year-old appears exhausted, but those around her and netizens from social media are actively encouraging her to keep going.
Notable celebrities that have reached out to her are, Canadian rapper Drake, Nigerian Afrobeat Superstar Burna Boy, Tiwa Savage among others.
She has prepared over 115 meals, totalling nearly 3000 portions.
The cooking marathon began on Thursday, May 11, 2023, and she hopes to finish by the evening of May 15, 2023.
