Nigerian chef and entrepreneur Hilda Baci has added another achievement to her name, making her a three-time Guinness World Records holder.
The latest recognition came after Guinness World Records confirmed that she broke two records in a single cooking event.
Initially, Hilda thought she had only set the record for the largest serving of Nigerian-style jollof rice.
Later, she discovered that the same dish also set a record for the largest serving of rice in general.
Combined with her previous record for the longest cooking marathon, she now officially holds three Guinness World Records.
Hilda in a post on her Instagram page said she only realized the additional record months after the event while checking her emails.
She credited her partner, Oreoluwa Atinmo, for helping make the achievement possible and acknowledged the role of teamwork throughout the process.

She also thanked her team, Guinness World Records, and supporters for their encouragement, describing the milestone as a remarkable way to start 2026.
She wrote: “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.
“This morning, I was just doing my usual routine, casually scrolling through my emails, when I saw the message come in. I was shocked and happy at the same time, completely caught off guard. Five months after the initial record announcement, I was just finding out that there was more.
When I and @ginonaija broke the Guinness World Record for the largest serving of Nigerian-style jollof rice, I thought that was it.
“What I didn’t know, until now, is that on that same day, we had also broken the record for the largest serving of rice overall. So what I thought was one record… turned out to be two. And now, officially, that makes three Guinness World Records in total.
“The very first person I called was @oreoluwa_atinmo , because this journey, this vision, and this record would not have been possible without her. We did this together. From idea to execution, side by side, fully aligned. Sharing that moment with her made everything feel real.
“Honestly, God is faithful. The kind of faithful that still surprises you. This feels like such a beautiful reminder that even when you think you’ve seen the full picture, God can still say, “There’s more.” What a blessing, and what a way to enter this new year.”
