Celebrity chef Hilda Baci has officially received her second Guinness World Record plaque, recognizing her feat of cooking the world’s largest pot of jollof rice.
The record, certified by Guinness World Records, involved preparing 8,780 kilograms (19,356 pounds) of jollof rice during a Lagos cookout in September.
This marks a follow-up to her first record, achieved in May 2023, when she completed a 93-hour, 11-minute cooking marathon. With two official Guinness titles, Hilda Baci has become Nigeria’s first and most decorated chef to hold multiple world records.
All portions of the massive dish were distributed to guests and charitable organizations, fully meeting verification standards.
Sharing the moment on social media, Hilda celebrated the milestone, writing:
“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… 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.”
She 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 everlasting joy will be yours. Isaiah 61:7.”
Hilda Baci’s achievement continues to showcase Nigeria’s culinary excellence on the global stage and inspire millions through her passion and determination.
