In a culinary spectacle that commenced precisely at 12am today, Chef Failatu Abdul-Razak from Tamale has embarked on a daring mission to etch her name in history by attempting to break the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking marathon.
The current record holder for the longest cooking marathon (individual) is the Irish maestro, Chef Alan Fisher, who set an impressive time of 119 hours and 57 minutes.
Fisher’s culinary feat surpassed the previous record held by Nigerian chef Hilda Baci. However, just days ago, the spotlight shifted to Uganda as Chef Mama D who unofficially surpassed Fisher’s record, cooking tirelessly for an astounding 123 hours and 10 minutes.
With these recent developments, all eyes are now on Tamale as Chef Failatu aims to not only secure the official Guinness World Record but also surpass Mama D’s unofficial achievement.
If successful, Failatu is anticipated to cook for more than 130 hours, setting a new benchmark for the world to marvel at. Her marathon is expected to conclude on the 5th of January if all goes according to plan.
