The 27-year-old chef Hilda Baci, who captivated Nigeria for days while attempting to break a Guinness World Record, has said that her job was divinely ordained.
Last Monday, Indian chef Lata Tondon‘s 87 hours and 45 minutes record for the longest cooking marathon (individual) was broken by Baci, who spent 100 hours in the kitchen.

The culinary expert said that cooking is something she has always done and wants to do during a live appearance on Tuesday’s episode of Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily.
Hilda Baci said;
So, even when I was a TV presenter — and that’s not to say I’m no longer a [TV] host because I’m still very capable of doing those things, it’s more, I chose to apply myself more here because I needed to focus on this aspect of my life and the business aspect, to basically build a system.
Even when I was on TV, what I did was host a cooking show and host a cooking segment on a breakfast show. So, someway, somehow, even in the other aspects of my career, cooking still pretty much shines out the best, and I would say it’s what God wants me to do.
Recalling the start of her cooking business, MyFood by Hilda, the Akwa Ibom native said her experience was a pointer to her belief that she had found her calling.
She noted;
The minute I started my business, the response to it was amazing. The response to it has been amazing and that’s just a testament to show that this is what I’m meant to do and I love doing it. So, for the most part, it doesn’t feel like work.
