Hilda Baci’s attempt to break the world record for the longest time spent cooking is a significant event, and the governor’s presence served to inspire an outpouring of encouragement and support for her.
Hilda is on a mission to cook multiple dishes for an expected period of time in order to get recognition from the Guinness World Records.
The current record for the world’s longest cooking marathon is held by Lata Tondon who completed the task in 87 hours, 45 minutes, and 00 secs in Rewa, India in 2019.
As at the time of the report, the chef has exceeded 69 hours in her attempt.
