“She’s hoping to snap up the record title for the longest cooking marathon (individual) which currently belongs to Lata Tondon (India) with a time of 87 hr 45 min,” Guinness World Records said in a statement.

Hilda began cooking on Thursday and continued through to Monday, reportedly whipping up 55 recipes and more than 100 meals in a whopping 100-hour stint.”

“Officials on our records team look forward to reviewing the evidence and hope to be able to verify Hilda’s efforts as a new record very soon.”

The Nigerian chef on Monday as of 08:32 am surpassed the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking marathon previously set by an Indian chef, Lata Tondon.

Tondon on her own part had achieved the feat after cooking for 87 hours, 45 minutes and 00 secs back in the year 2019.

Hilda carried on despite surpassing Tondon’s record time and said at 4:00 pm that she was fully ready to reach 100 hours of marathon cooking.
