Nigerian chef Hilda Baci has officially received her third Guinness World Record plaque, cementing her status as a three-time record holder following a landmark cooking event in September 2025 that unexpectedly broke two global records simultaneously.
“Third time. Not because I planned it. Not because I felt ready. But because God allowed it,” Baci shared while unboxing the latest plaque on Instagram. “The nerves. The faith. The sacrifice. The prayers. Three times. Still humbled. Still hungry. Still thankful.”
Her three records now include: longest cooking marathon (93 hours, 11 minutes set in May 2023), largest serving of Nigerian-style jollof rice (8,780 kilograms set September 12, 2025), and largest serving of rice overall—a retroactive recognition confirmed by GWR in January 2026 after reviewing the same September event.
Baci received two plaques for the most recent feat—one for herself and one for partner brand Gino Nigeria.
She described the third title as a “surprise” and “beautiful reminder” that achievements often hold more than initially meets the eye.
