It read:
“She’s hoping to snap up the record title for the longest cooking marathon (individual) which currently belongs to Lata Tondon (India) with a time of 87 hr 45 min.
“Hilda began cooking on Thursday and continued through to Monday, reportedly whipping up 55 recipes and more than 100 meals in a whopping 100-hour stint.
“Officials on our records team look forward to reviewing the evidence and hope to be able to verify Hilda’s efforts as a new record very soon.”
One of the spokespersons of the British reference body said:
“We are looking forward to receiving the evidence for its Records Management Team to review before we can confirm the record is official.”
27-year-old Baci had initially scheduled to stop in her former 96-hour target surpassing the current Guinness World Record holder but eventually surpassed the 96-hour target and has now achieved a 100-hour record time.
