Hilda Baci, the Nigerian Guinness World Record holder, has revealed her plans of organizing a Cookathon festival internationally.
Hilda was questioned about the prospect of another Guinness World Record attempt in a recent interview with TheCable Lifestyle.
The chef was verified by Guinness World Records (GWR) as the record holder for the longest individual cooking marathon with a milestone of 93 hours and 11 minutes.
Baci said she has no plans breaking another world record at the moment.
“To the best of my knowledge right now, I do not intend to attempt another record. At least, it is not something I am thinking about.
“It took a lot of thought and planning. It was a huge investment”.
Baci also elaborated on her vision of converting her cook-a-thon into a festival.
According to her, she wants the festival to be “something that happens in different countries”.
“So, in terms of now making it into something, I want to make the ‘cook-a-thon’ turn into more like a festival that happens in probably in different countries,” she said.
“That is something I am open to. I am now reaching out to these brands, and saying, ‘Oh, we have worked on this before’. Now, this is something that I am trying to do.”
The chef also revealed that a documentary is in the works so people can see her “beautiful story”.
“We are working on a documentary as well. Because I feel like it was important that people must see all this.
“I feel like it is important that people actually see the process because it is honestly a very beautiful story. I think more people deserve to see it holistically, not just little clips on social media,” she said.
