Nigerian culinary star Hilda Baci has officially received her third Guinness World Record (GWR) plaque, solidifying her status as a three-time title holder. Sharing the unboxing of the record pack with her followers on Friday, February 13, 2026, the chef reflected on the emotional and spiritual journey behind her latest global achievement.
Reliving the Moment: “Something Bigger Than Me”
In a heartfelt post on Instagram, Baci expressed that despite her growing list of accolades, the weight of the recognition remains profound. She described the unboxing experience as a moment of deep reflection on the sacrifice and faith required to compete at such a high level.
“Third time. Not because I planned it. Not because I felt ready. But because God allowed it,” she shared. “Unboxing this record pack felt like reliving the moment all over again. The nerves. The faith. The sacrifice. The prayers. The belief that something bigger than me was happening.”
The Records: A Global Jollof Milestone
While Baci first entered the international spotlight in 2023 for her “longest cooking marathon” (Cook-a-thon), her latest record-breaking feat focused on volume and scale.
In January 2026, Guinness World Records confirmed two specific titles achieved in partnership with food brand Gino Nigeria:
- Largest Serving of Jollof Rice: A massive portion of the iconic West African dish.
- Largest Serving of Rice Ever Recorded: Surpassing all previous records for any rice-based dish globally.
The feat, performed in 2025, was designed to showcase the richness of Nigerian cuisine on the world stage while promoting local food culture.
A Legacy of “Firsts”
Since her 100-hour cooking marathon in 2023, Hilda Baci has become a symbol of resilience and excellence in the Nigerian creative and culinary industries. Her latest plaque serves as a physical testament to her continued dominance and her ability to turn a “let’s try” attitude into “officially amazing” results.
“I don’t take this lightly. I don’t get used to it. I’m just deeply grateful,” she told her fans. “Thank you to everyone who has stood by me from the very first ‘let’s try’ to this third ‘officially amazing.’”
