Adeyeye Adeola Blessing, an Ondo-based Nigerian chef, has successfully concluded a 150-hour cooking marathon in Ondo State, aiming to surpass the Guinness World Record set by Hilda Baci for the longest cooking hours.
Dubbed “Deocookathon,” the event took place at TMF Lounge and Bar in Ile Oluji, Ondo State, starting on June 30th.
Celebrating her remarkable achievement of 150 cooking hours, Chef Adeola shared her determination to push further beyond her initial goal.
She posted a graphic design on her Instagram with the caption, “150 hours and still counting. The journey was challenging, but we persevered! 🥳🥳👩🍳💃💃💃.”
Throughout the cooking marathon, Chef Adeola received notable guests, including Mr. Wale Akinterinwa, the Ondo State Commissioner for Finance, Hon. Festus Adefiranye, a member of the Federal House of Representatives representing Ile-Oluji/Okeigbo & Odigbo Federal Constituency, and Hon. Nelson Akinsuroju, a member of the Ondo State House of Assembly representing Ile-Oluji/Okeigbo State Constituency, among others, who came to show their support for the talented chef.
Chef Adeola’s endeavour comes shortly after Nigerian chef Hilda Baci was officially recognized by Guinness World Records as the new record holder for the longest cooking marathon by an individual, clocking in at 93 hours and 11 minutes.
Notably, Chef Damilola Adeparusi, also known as Chef Dammy, attempted to surpass Hilda Baci’s record a couple of weeks ago by completing a 120-hour cooking marathon in Ekiti State.
However, the attempt was not acknowledged as it was not officially registered with Guinness World Records.
