The record-breaking accomplishment of Nigerian cook Hilda Effiong Bassey, also known as Hilda Baci, has finally been discussed.
Recall that on Monday, May 15, the 27-year-old chef set a new record for the longest amount of hours spent cooking by one person.
Hilda broke the previous record held by Indian chef Lata Tandon, who established the record for cooking for 87 hours and 45 minutes without stopping in 2019. Hilda cooked continuously for 100 hours.
On May 11, 2023, Hilda started a cooking spree that lasted until the wee hours of May 15. She cooked more than 200 meals for the event’s outstanding turnout of more than 4,000 guests.
Speaking about the feat in a chat with Pulse, she revealed that her toughest moments during the marathon were the first 6 hours, during which she had to pray to God for strength.
She also thanked Nigerians for the overwhelming love and support she received.
“I am amazed at the outpouring of love from Nigerians towards achieving this record. The first six hours were the toughest for me, and I had to pray to God for strength,” she said.
