"From the longest cooking marathon to the biggest pot of jollof, Hilda Baci is on a quest to conquer the Guinness World Records, and they're watching."

 

Guinness World Records has extended its well wishes to Nigerian chef Hilda Baci, who is attempting to set a new record for the largest pot of jollof rice. Baci announced her ambitious goal in a post on her social media, which has garnered significant attention and support from fans and well-wishers across the globe.

In a statement released on its official social media platforms, Guinness World Records acknowledged Baci's endeavor and offered words of encouragement. "We've been seeing some amazing record attempts for the largest pot of jollof. Good luck to Hilda Baci," the statement read, recognizing the culinary feat Baci is trying to achieve. The organization's support adds a layer of official recognition and excitement to the challenge.

The attempt involves creating an immense quantity of the beloved West African dish, a staple in many countries, including Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal, and others. Jollof rice is a flavorful one-pot rice dish that's a cornerstone of West African cuisine. Baci's attempt not only highlights her culinary skills but also brings global attention to a dish that holds deep cultural significance.

This isn't Baci's first time in the spotlight. She previously held the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking marathon by an individual, a feat she achieved in May 2023. Her previous record, which stood at 93 hours and 11 minutes, captivated audiences worldwide and showcased her dedication and endurance. While her record has since been surpassed, her legacy as a record-holder continues to inspire many.

Baci's latest attempt at the largest pot of jollof rice continues to generate buzz online. The record-breaking attempt is still in progress, and the public is eagerly following her journey, hoping to see her achieve this impressive culinary milestone. A successful attempt would cement her place as a true culinary icon and bring another world record to Nigeria.
