Nigerian celebrity chef Hilda Baci has received her second Guinness World Record plaque, officially recognizing her achievement for cooking the world’s largest pot of jollof rice.
According to Guinness World Records, Baci prepared 8,780 kilograms (19,356 pounds) of jollof rice during a public cookout in Lagos in September 2025.
The feat marks Hilda’s second world record, following her first Guinness title earned in May 2023, when she completed a 93-hour, 11-minute cooking marathon that captured worldwide attention and cemented her place in history.
With both recognitions, the Akwa Ibom–born chef becomes Nigeria’s first and most decorated culinary artist to hold multiple Guinness World Records.
Sharing photos and videos of her plaques on Instagram, Baci celebrated the moment as a powerful testimony of faith and perseverance.
“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.
And not just any records, two of the biggest culinary records ever set. Together with Gino, we created something bigger than ourselves, a story that reached over 5 billion people and reminded the world what’s possible when passion meets purpose.
I’m a two-time world record holder; someone pinch me.
A two-time Guinness World Record Holder !!!
Instead of your shame, you will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance. And so you will inherit a double portion in your land, and everlasting joy will be yours. Isaiah 61:7″ She wrote
Hilda’s monumental jollof rice cookout attracted an estimated 20,000 food lovers, celebrities, and influencers, with every portion of the record-breaking meal distributed to guests and charitable groups in compliance with Guinness verification standards.
