The Guinness World Record for the coveted Longest Cooking Marathon has been broken again.
Mama D, a Ugandan chef broke the record on Thursday, 28 December 2023, cooking for more than 119 hours, 57 minutes, a record set by the Irish chef, Alan Fisher in November.
Mama D, who is still cooking, plans to cook till the new year. If she succeeds, she would have cooked non-stop for 9 days.
At the time, Fisher, the Irish chef, had broken the record set by Nigerian chef, Hilda Baci who cooked for 93 hours, 11 minutes in May this year.
Baci’s shattering of the record this year immediately shut it to new heights of fame, with multiple chefs looking to break the record.
At the time, Baci had received massive support from celebrities, influencers and politicians with Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos and the music sensation Tiwa Savage all dropping at the location in Lagos to show support.
All through that weekend in May, Baci rose to the top of the Twitter trend table in the country.
