It should be noted that an Ekiti chef named Dammy broke the famed chef’s record on the same day Hilda’s record was officially recognized by Guinness World Records by clocking more than 100 hours.
Three things the organisation mentioned about Hilda’s cook-a-thon.
1. Our website crashed for 2 days
Guinness World Records affirmed that Hilda’s cookathon was so popular that their website had a lot of traffic. They said it crashed as a result. The organisation also said that Hilda’s fans were many.
In their words: “Hilda’s cook-a-thon was in fact so popular that our website crashed for two days due to the immense volume of traffic we received from her legion of loyal fans.”
2. Hilda prepared for the event
The Nigerian chef was said to have prepared a 35-menu guide to show her preparation for the cookathon.
As Hilda cooked, her team was on their feet as they ensured that she never ran out of ingredients. They said:
“She ensured that she had the necessary ingredients to make each recipe, with her team procuring further food items while the cook-a-thon was underway…”
3. Why Hilda didn’t get 100 hours
According to Guinness World Records, a challenge participant is expected to take a five-minute break after every hour.
However, Hilda took elongated hours at some point. In that light, some hours were deducted from her challenge, and she was given 93 hours and 11 minutes.
