By Boniface Ihiasota, USA
Celebrity Chef Hilda Baci, the remarkable individual who shattered the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking session, has courageously revealed a significant chapter of her life in an exclusive interview with TVC, as reported on Monday.
Amidst the newfound fame that accompanies her extraordinary achievement, Chef Hilda, hailing from the enchanting region of Akwa Ibom, disclosed a deeply personal secret—she was once homeless.
In a candid conversation, she shared, “A lot of people see this buzz now, and most of them think I dropped from the sky. They don’t know I was homeless at some point. There’s an entire phase and journey that got me here, and I’m not even done.
Clearly humbled by her current triumph, Chef Hilda emphasized that her record-breaking feat is merely a stepping stone in her ongoing expedition.
With unwavering determination, she conveyed, “This is still part of a journey. I’m still on a path, and I’m still going. It’s not always going to be rosy. It’s not always going to be easy. But we need more examples like this so people can say, ‘Hilda did it, so I can do it as well.”
During the awe-inspiring cook-a-thon, where Chef Hilda showcased her extraordinary culinary skills before a captivated live audience, she etched her name into history by completing an astonishing 100-hour cooking marathon, a remarkable feat accomplished over the course of four consecutive days.
