After completing a 100-hour cooking marathon in her bid to claim the Guinness World Records title for the "longest cooking time by an individual," Nigerian chef Hilda Effiong Bassey, better known by her stage name Hilda Baci, has opened up.
Hilda stated that she is still in awe of her accomplishment even though GWR is currently reviewing her record time in order to formally add her to the illustrious book.
On Friday night, the chef made this statement during an Instagram Live session.
She praised Nigerians for their love and support over the four-day cooking marathon, calling it fantastic and profound.
I'm still in amazement, Hilda confessed. I genuinely believe that I am still in shock. I couldn't be happier or more appreciative of everyone. I guess you could say that I am simply reliving the entire event when I think about the attempt. I can't express my gratitude to you enough.
Sincerely, I have no idea what I would do without you guys. And it's absolutely astounding and meaningful in every way. With no expectations of reciprocation, the love is so genuine. Both online and offline, you guys continued to help me.
