Celebrity chef Hilda Baci has celebrated after receiving her second Guinness World Record plaque.
This is in recognition of her cooking the world’s largest pot of jollof rice.
The record, confirmed by Guinness World Records, involved cooking 8,780 kilograms (19,356 pounds) of jollof during a Lagos cookout in September.
This plaque arrived a year and some months after her first, earned for completing a 93-hour, 11-minute cooking marathon in May 2023.
With two official titles, Hilda becomes Nigeria’s first and most decorated chef to hold multiple Guinness records.
She wrote: “Your plaques are finally here!!! Two records. Two plaques. One story of faith, fire, and history. Twice, God showed up for me. Twice, we made history for Nigeria. And not just any records — two of the biggest culinary records ever set. Together with Gino, we created something bigger than ourselves — a story that reached over 5 billion people and reminded the world what’s possible when passion meets purpose. I’m a two-time world record holder, someone pinch me”.
Baci added: “A two time Guinness World Record Holder !!! Instead of your shame you will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance. And so you will inherit a double portion in your land, and everlasting joy will be yours. Isaiah 61:7”.
