A talented chef from Nigeria named Hilda, aged 27, has accomplished an incredible feat by breaking the record for the ‘Longest Cooking Time’ achieved by an individual, according to the Guinness World Records.
Hilda’s impressive achievement surpassed the previous record set by Indian chef Lata Tandon in 2019, who cooked non-stop for an impressive 87 hours and 45 minutes. Hilda is now the proud holder of this notable Guinness World Record.
The Akwa Ibom-born chef shattered the record on Monday, May 15, at 7:45 am.
She started cooking on the 11th of May and intends to cook for 96 hours to set a new record.
The project, tagged “Cook-a-thon,” gained the support of many Nigerians, including politicians and celebrities.
The Vice president of Nigeria, Yemi Osinbajo, and Akwa Ibom Governor, Udom Emmanuel, had on Sunday called her on the phone to encourage her to persevere and not give up.
Similarly, the Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, visited Hilda at the cooking venue to encourage her.
Presidential candidates Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar also cheered the record-breaking chef on Twitter.
