 Nigerian celebrity chef and Guinness World Record titleholder, Hilda Bassey Effiong, better known as Hilda Baci, has taken another bold step in her culinary journey as she prepares to achieve yet another remarkable milestone. The award-winning chef recently carried out a trial cooking exercise in Lagos, aimed at perfecting her plans to cook what she describes as the largest pot of jollof rice in the world.

The rehearsal was not just a casual attempt but a carefully organized event that focused on testing the logistics, timing, and technical processes required to pull off such a large-scale culinary achievement. According to Hilda, the trial enabled her and her dedicated team to simulate the actual record-breaking cook, paying close attention to critical elements such as ingredient measurements, heat regulation, cooking duration, and presentation standards. This systematic approach, she explained, will ensure that every detail is accounted for before the final attempt.

Hilda Baci, who rose to international fame after her Guinness World Record cook-a-thon in 2023, has continued to inspire many with her resilience, creativity, and passion for food. Her previous record attempt, which showcased her ability to cook non-stop for days, drew global attention, celebrating both her personal achievement and Nigeria’s rich culinary heritage. With this new project, she is once again spotlighting jollof rice—a West African delicacy that is at the heart of cultural identity and food rivalry across the region.

For Hilda, this upcoming feat is not only about breaking records but also about pushing boundaries, showcasing Nigerian cuisine to the world, and motivating a new generation of chefs. Her trial run demonstrates her commitment to excellence and her determination to position Nigerian food on the global stage. If successful, this historic attempt could mark another milestone in Africa’s culinary history, reinforcing her reputation as one of Nigeria’s most ambitious and innovative chefs.
