I Plan To Turn My Cook-A-Thon Into A Festival – Chef Hilda Reveals

Hilda Baci, the Nigerian Guinness World Record holder, has revealed her plans of organizing a Cookathon festival internationally.

Hilda was questioned about the prospect of another Guinness World Record attempt in a recent interview with TheCable Lifestyle.

Baci said she has no plans breaking another world record at the moment.

“To the best of my knowledge right now, I do not intend to attempt another record. At least, it is not something I am thinking about.

“It took a lot of thought and planning. It was a huge investment”.

Baci also elaborated on her vision of converting her cook-a-thon into a festival.

According to her, she wants the festival to be “something that happens in different countries”.

“So, in terms of now making it into something, I want to make the ‘cook-a-thon’ turn into more like a festival that happens in probably in different countries,” she said.

“That is something I am open to. I am now reaching out to these brands, and saying, ‘Oh, we have worked on this before’. Now, this is something that I am trying to do.”

The chef also revealed that a documentary is in the works so people can see her “beautiful story”.

“We are working on a documentary as well. Because I feel like it was important that people must see all this.

“I feel like it is important that people actually see the process because it is honestly a very beautiful story. I think more people deserve to see it holistically, not just little clips on social media,” she said.
