Abstract
Nigerian chef Hilda Bassey attempted to break the Guinness World Record for the longest time spent cooking after creating 55 recipes and 100 meals in an 100 hour shift.
The current world record was held by Indian chef Lata Tondon who cooked for 87 hours and 45 minutes. Bassey said she took on the challenge to highlight Nigerian cuisine.
A Guinness World Records spokesperson said: “We are aware of the record attempt and are looking forward to receiving the evidence for our records management team to review, before we can confirm the record is official.”
Bassey told CNN: “Nigerian cuisine is the best out there. The more recipes are propagated, the more people will be willing to try it. Nigerian food is such comfort food.”
