Hilda Baci has received her Guinness World Record plaque.

Glamtush reports that Nigerian chef, Hilda Bassey popularly known as Hilda Baci, has received her Guinness World Records plaque confirming her recent feat as the record holder for the longest cooking marathon by an individual.

The statement read, “Following a thorough review of all the evidence, Guinness World Records can now confirm that Hilda Effiong Bassey, better known as Hilda Baci, has officially broken the record for the longest cooking marathon (individual), with a time of 93 hours 11 minutes.”

Hilda prepared over 100 pots of food during the contest, beating the previous record of 87 hours and 45 minutes set by Lata Tondon (India) in 2019.
