Hilda Baci Becomes Three-Time Guinness World Record Holder After Jollof Rice Feat

Nigerian chef and content creator Hilda Baci has become a three-time Guinness World Records holder, following her record-breaking jollof rice cook in September 2025.

Announcing the achievement on Instagram, Hilda revealed that her jollof rice feat not only set a record for the largest serving of Nigerian-style jollof rice but also broke the record for the largest serving of rice overall.

This adds to her existing record for the longest cooking marathon, set in 2023, when she spent 93 hours and 11 minutes cooking continuously.

The monumental 8,780-kilogram pot of jollof rice was enough to feed over 16,600 people and was officially verified by Guinness World Records on September 15, 2025.

In her post, Hilda expressed immense gratitude to her team, Guinness World Records, and supporters:

“Woke up a three-time Guinness World Records holder and I’m still trying to wrap my head around it. What a way to step into 2026.

Five months after the initial record announcement, I discovered that the same day we broke the Guinness World Record for the largest serving of Nigerian-style jollof rice, we also set the record for the largest serving of rice overall. What I thought was one record turned out to be two—now officially making three Guinness World Records in total.

The first person I called was @oreoluwa_atinmo. This journey, this vision, this record would not have been possible without her. From idea to execution, side by side, fully aligned.

God is faithful. Even when you think you’ve seen the full picture, He can still say, ‘There’s more.’

To my incredible team, this is OUR win. Every long day, every detail, every push, it all mattered. To Guinness World Records, thank you for the recognition and for honoring this achievement. And to everyone who supported and believed in us, my heart is so full.

Still processing. Still grateful. Still in awe 🤍✨”

Hilda’s accomplishment cements her status as one of Nigeria’s most celebrated culinary talents and a global record-breaker.
