Hilda Baci celebrates 1st anniversary of Guinness World Record cook-a-thon

Nigerian chef Hilda Baci recently marked the one-year anniversary of breaking the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking marathon.

The event happened in Lagos, where Hilda, along with her team of around 100 people, surpassed the 100-hour mark. Hilda expressed her gratitude to her team for their unwavering support throughout the challenging moments of the marathon.

She reminisced about the event that started on May 12 and concluded on May 17, 2023, making it a 5-day celebration.

“On this day 1year ago we began the official attempt that made history. At about 5pm on the 12th of may I turned on the gas for the very first time only to be turned off on the 17th of may 5 days later so yes we have a 5 day long anniversary and I’m here for it.

I could not have done it firstly without my team the alpha team that was the first point of contact that helped my very big dream come true so naturally the first celebration point will be the Alpha team and heads of departments.

I mean it was such a big team of about a 100 people to put the experience of the year together and I’m thankful for them every single day.”
