Adeparusi embarks on a 120-hour cooking marathon in Ekiti on Friday, aiming to surpass Baci’s record.
Baci had previously set a record by cooking for 100 hours, surpassing the 2019 record of 87 hours + set by Indian chef Lata Tondon.
Adeparusi’s decision to challenge Baci’s attempt came after the GWR announced that they would evaluate it before confirming any official record.
At the time of this report, Adeparusi has cooked for over 64 hours.
Nigerians have had mixed reactions to her decision to challenge Baci’s unverified attempt.
While some disapprove of the Ekiti chef’s move, others express support for her cooking marathon.
In a tweet on Sunday, Baci acknowledges the uniqueness of individual dreams.
She commends Adeparusi’s boldness in taking on the cooking challenge, stating that passion knows no limits.
Baci encourages her to embrace the journey, learn from every experience, and inspire others with her unwavering spirit.
“The beauty of dreams is that they are unique to each individual,” Hilda Baci writes.
“Dami, your boldness to take on a cooking challenge shows that passion knows no limits.
“Embrace the journey, learn from every experience, and inspire others with your unwavering spirit.”
