Kenyan Chef, Malih Mohammed surpasses Hilda Baci’s Longest Cooking Record

A Kenyan cook, Maliha Mohammed, has surpassed Hilda Baci’s record of the longest cooking marathon, barely two months after she was declared winner.

26-year-old Hilda Baci was on Tuesday, June 13, officially declared the Guinness World Record holder for the longest cooking marathon with a time of 93 hours and 11 minutes.

Chef Maliha Mohammed, who began her cook-a-thon on August 11, has, however, unofficially set a new record after cooking for 95 hours 15 minutes.

In a post on her Instagram page on Tuesday, Maliha announced her feat with a special flyer boldly stating, “NEW WORLD RECORD”.

“@seagasltd Yes, we did it! New world record holder for the longest home kitchen cooking marathon in town Shukran for the support,” she wrote. 

Chef Maliha had successfully done two cook-a-thon trials prior to her new cooking marathon, although her new record has not been recognised by Guinness World Records. 

The chef’s groundbreaking accomplishment is now awaiting certification by the Guinness World Records, while her fans took to social media platforms to cheer her on. See some reactions below;
