Nigerian celebrity chef, Hilda Baci, has officially received her second Guinness World Record plaque, recognising her achievement for cooking the world’s largest pot of jollof rice. According to Guinness World Records, Baci prepared an astonishing 8,780kg (19,356 pounds) of jollof rice during a Lagos cookout in September, a milestone now confirmed as the biggest ever recorded.
This latest accomplishment comes just over a year after her first Guinness title for completing a 93-hour, 11-minute cooking marathon in May 2023. With two major titles to her name, Baci becomes Nigeria’s most decorated chef and the first to hold multiple Guinness World Records.
Sharing photos of her new plaques on Instagram, Baci described the experience as a journey of “faith, fire, and history.”She wrote, “Our plaques are finally here !!! Two records. Two plaques. One story of faith, fire, and history. Twice, God showed up for me. Twice, we made history for Nigeria.”
She added, “And not just any records, two of the biggest culinary records ever set… I’m a two-time world record holder, someone pinch me.”
Baci also quoted Isaiah 61:7, saying her story reflects the promise that “instead of shame, you will receive a double portion… and everlasting joy will be yours.”
Her jollof rice cookout attracted over 20,000 attendees, including food lovers, celebrities, and influencers. In line with Guinness World Records standards, every serving of the massive dish was distributed to guests and charity organisations, sealing the authenticity of the achievement.
