Adeyeye Adeola, a chef from Nigeria, has embarked on a remarkable culinary journey with a singular goal in mind: to set a new Guinness World Record for the longest cooking marathon achieved by an individual.
Her ambitious cook-a-thon commenced on Friday, June 30, 2023, in the picturesque Ile-Oluji/Okeigbo Local Government Area of Ondo State and is scheduled to conclude on Thursday, July 6, 2023.
This is coming after another Nigerian chef, Adeparusi Damilola, also known as Chef Dammy embarked on a 120-hour cook-a-thon in Oye Local Government Area of Ekiti State.
Chef Dammy, a 22-year-old student at the Federal University, Oye-Ekiti, aimed to push the boundaries of culinary endurance.
MAD reports that another Nigerian chef, Hilda Baci, currently holds the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking marathon.
It is worth noting that Nigerian chef Hilda Baci currently holds the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking marathon achieved by an individual. Baci’s incredible feat took place from Thursday, May 11 to Monday, May 15, during which she tirelessly prepared over 100 pots of food over the course of four days.
The Guinness World Records, in an official statement on its website, confirmed Hilda Effiong Bassey (popularly known as Hilda Baci) as the official record holder for the longest cooking marathon achieved by an individual. Her astonishing time of 93 hours and 11 minutes was meticulously reviewed and verified by the organization.
However, should Adeola successfully complete her 150-hour cook-a-thon, she will not only break Hilda Baci’s existing record but also establish an entirely new world record for the longest cooking marathon achieved by an individual.
