Ghanaian Chef, Failatu Abdul-Razak, has broken the world record for the Longest Cooking Marathon by an Individual. She cooked for 227 hours.
Failatu and her assistant, Malik Eric, spent 10 days in the kitchen cooking since New Year’s Day.
She intended to beat the official 119-hour record set by Alan Fisher but ended up doing a rather astounding 227 hours:00mins:02 seconds.
Earlier, Ugandan chef Dorcus Mirembe, popularly known as Mama D, cooked for 144 hours and is awaiting Guinness World Records’ validation.
According to Failatu, she undertook this Guinness World Record attempt to set a new mark at the Modern City Hotel in Tamale.
