Scores of Ghanaians on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, are showering praise on Chef Abdul-Razak Failatu for successfully cooking for five consecutive days.
Chef Faila commenced her Guinness World Record attempt for the longest cooking session by an individual on the eve of the New Year 2024.
Her ambitious goal is to cook for an astounding 120 hours, aiming to surpass the current cook-a-thon record held by Irish Chef Alan Fisher, who cooked for 119 hours and 57 minutes.
In a remarkable feat, Chef Failatu reached the 100-hour mark in the early hours of Friday, January 5, surpassing Nigerian Chef Hilda Baci’s record of 93 hours.
In response, the social media platform has become a center of admiration, recognising Chef Failatu's remarkable achievement in reaching the 100-hour milestone without displaying any signs of tiredness and surpassing Hilda Baci’s previous record.
Many comments on the micro-blogging site suggest that Ghana will also excel over Nigeria in every competition.
Chef Failatu Abdul-Razak has extended the duration her quest to break the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking marathon to 240 hours which is 10 days.
Assisted by a deputy chef, Failatu initially announced plans to continuously cook for an impressive 120 hours at the Modern City Hotel in Tamale.
The ambitious culinary marathon, which started from January 1 to 5, 2024, was to surpass the existing record of 119 hours and 57 minutes set last year by Ireland’s Alan Fisher, who surpassed the renowned Hilda Baci’s record.
But Failatu’s manager, Damba Naa, in an interview with Joy News announced the idea is no longer five days but six to seven days.
The decision he said was informed by Ugandan’s Dorcus Mirembe, affectionately known as Mama D, who is awaiting official confirmation from Guinness World Records judges after successfully cooking for 144 hours.
“For us to be able to break the record and set any, we have to go beyond the 144 hours,” he said.
