Ondo-based chef, Adeola Adeyeye, has embarked on a mission to set a new Guinness World Record for the longest cooking marathon by an individual.
Chef Hilda Bassey, popularly known as Hilda Baci, currently holds the record.
Adeyeye began cooking on Friday in the Ile-Oluji/Okeigbo Local Government Area of Ondo State. She is scheduled to conclude on Thursday, July 6, 2023.
This is coming after another chef Damilola Adeparusi, also known as Chef Dammy, undertook a 120-hour cook-a-thon in Oye Local Government Area of Ekiti State.
Adeparusi’s effort last month was not recognised by the Guinness World Records as she did not apply to the body before kick-off.

She also confirmed she did it just to showcase her skills to the general public. Adeparusi, a 26-year-old student at the Federal University, Oye-Ekiti, plans to cook this July for the world records.
Meanwhile, Hilda Baci’s cook’s record-breaking attempt took place from Thursday, May 11 to Monday, May 15, during which she cooked over 100 pots of food over four days.
In an official statement on its website, the Guinness World Records confirmed Hilda Baci as the record holder for the longest cooking marathon (individual), with an impressive time of 93 hours and 11 minutes.
The GWR in a statement on its website, said, “Following a thorough review of all the evidence, Guinness World Records can now confirm that Hilda Effiong Bassey, better known as Hilda Baci, has officially broken the record for the longest cooking marathon (individual), with a time of 93 hours 11 minutes.”
Adeyeye will be hoping to meet all the criteria required of the Guinness World Records to set a new world record.
