The four-day cooking marathon, which began at 4 p.m. on Thursday, includes celebrity visits, networking, games, and brand activations.

 

Hilda Baci: Here are some facts about the chef’s attempt to break the current Guinness World Record for Marathon Cooking and establish a new one:

 

Her authentic name is Hilda Bassey Effiong. She is a young Nigerian chef from the state of Akwa Ibom. She owns the food brand “My Food by Hilda” in Lagos.

 

She will cook nonstop for four days.

 

She must cook while standing; she is not allowed to sit while cooking.

While cooking, she is not permitted to consume coffee, stimulants, or energy drinks to artificially increase her energy and physical strength.

 

She is permitted to consume food, water or fruit juice, and glucose.

 

The cooking occurs at Amore Gardens in Lekki, Lagos State, Nigeria.

 

 

She cooks nonstop, without rest (morning, afternoon, evening, and night). Therefore, for four nights she has been unable to sleep.

 

She takes a one-hour break every twelve hours of cooking. She spends her break in a nearby medical van, where she can nap, use the lavatory and receive a medical evaluation or examination from the on-site medical staff.

 

Whenever she prepares food, she gives it to the people at the venue for FREE. The food is not being sold by her.

 

She prepares multiple dishes simultaneously. She is free to prepare any dish she desires. There are no limitations on what she may or may not cook.

 

The title of World Record pertains to cooking within a given time frame, not to what is cooked. As long as she continues to cook, she is on track.

Every meal prepared and served is meticulously documented.

She has prepared more than 150 meals to date, with nearly 3,000 portions or more by the time you read this.

 

She began cooking on Thursday and is expected to complete the task by the evening of Monday, May 15, 2023.

 

The current holder of the title Hilda hopes to surpass is the Indian chef Lata Tandon, who in 2019 set a Guinness World Record for cooking nonstop for 87 hours and 45 minutes.

 

Hilda Baci is attempting to cook for 96 hours in order to break the record, using an additional 9 hours to become the first person on earth to cook a marathon for so long.

 

She coined the term “Cook-a-thon” from the word “marathon” to describe the cooking project.

 

She appears to be exhausted, but those around her are encouraging her to boost her spirits. And they are readily available as she cooks around the clock, even at night.

 

Her sponsors provided the majority of the food items, ingredients, utensils, etc. she used for this project. Therefore, not all of the funds for this project came from Hilda or her Food brand.

 

One of her partners, Uber, is offering a 40% discount on rides to the venue for those who wish to attend and support her.

 

The mother of Hilda is also a chef. She is the owner of the “Calabar Pot” food brand.

 

She is 27 years old.
