Chef Hilda Baci has congratulated Irish Chef Alan Fisher, who just set a Guinness World Record for the longest individual cooking marathon.
Fisher, from Ireland, set a Guinness World Record by cooking for 119 hours and 57 minutes in his restaurant in Japan.
In response to Fisher’s success, Baci, the former record holder, congratulated him on her X account, writing.
“Huge congratulations to Alan Fisher! 119hrs 57mins is a huge achievement, and I wish him all the best as the new world record holder!” she said.
His feat exceeded the previous record held by Hilda Baci by more than 24 hours.
Baci also expressed joy for holding the previous record, saying she is honoured by that milestone.
“I’m so happy to have held a record so prestigious and profound I will forever be honored and grateful for all the love and support,” the Nigerian said.
Additionally, Fisher claimed the title for the longest baking marathon (individual) with a time of 47 hours and 21 minutes, surpassing the previous record held by Wendy Sandner from the USA, who had a time of 31 hours and 16 minutes.
He undertook both challenges consecutively, spending over 160 hours in the kitchen with just a little over a day of rest in between the two record-breaking attempts.
