A Nigerian Chef who’s currently based in Canada is geared to set a new Guinness World Record Cook-a-thon attempt with an 18-day cooking marathon that’s being broadcast live online.
The cook-a-thon is by Brampton chef Beauty Obasuyi who moved to Canada from Nigeria over a decade ago and has since opened Naija Jollof, an African restaurant with locations in Brampton and Toronto.
Obasuyi started the marathon event 10 days ago at the Naija Jollof kitchen in Brampton with plans to cook for eight straight days to wrestle the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking marathon (individual) from Irish chef Alan Fisher, who holds the title at some 119 hours.
But news that Chef Faila from Ghana completed a 227-hour cooking marathon under review by Guinness has led Obasuyi to extend her cook-a-thon to a staggering 18 consecutive days to try and secure the title.
