Nigerian Chef Hilda Bassey Sets Guinness World Record for Longest Cooking Marathon.

Nigerian chef Hilda Baci's non-stop cooking record has been officially recognized by Guinness World Records. She cooked for 100 hours, but GWR logged her record at 93 hours 11 minutes, docking her seven hours for taking a longer break than allowed on one occasion. She still beat the previous record by more than five hours set in Rewa, in central India in 2019 by Indian chef Lata Tondon. Baci used more than 100 different dishes, mostly Nigerian meals, such as jollof rice, as well as different types of rice and pasta, and also made akara - a popular street food made from deep-fried mashed beans.
