Hilda Baci became a sensation a couple of weeks ago after she attempted to break the longest cooking record by an individual.

NRTC had reported that Hilda set a new 100 hours non-stop cooking record after breaking the former record holder, India’s Lata Tandon’s 87 hours and 45 minutes record.

As at the time of this publication, Guinness World Record is yet to verify her performance; her attempt is currently under review.

She said, “There were a lot of ‘It’s not fairs’, like, ‘how can only her be fine, be hot, ah ah. How can only her have all these things? That’s not how life is.”

On the speculations that she paid for publicity, she said, “The PR that we invested in, how much, how many was it? The kind of earned media that the attempt got, you can not pay for it. You can’t plan for it, you can’t pay it. It’s grace. You can only hope.”
