Nigerian celebrity chef Hilda Baci has once again made history — and this time, it’s even tastier! The record-breaking chef has proudly received her second Guinness World Record plaque, officially recognizing her for cooking the world’s largest pot of jollof rice.

The record, confirmed by Guinness World Records, acknowledges Baci’s incredible feat of preparing a massive 8,780 kilograms (19,356 pounds) of jollof rice during a spectacular Lagos cookout in September.

This milestone comes just over a year after Hilda earned her first Guinness title in May 2023, when she completed an astonishing 93-hour, 11-minute cooking marathon that captured the hearts of millions around the world.

Now, with two Guinness titles, Hilda Baci stands tall as Nigeria’s first and most decorated chef to hold multiple world records — a proud moment not just for her, but for the entire nation.

Sharing her excitement on Instagram, she wrote:

“Your 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… Together with Gino, we created something bigger than ourselves — a story that reached over 5 billion people.”

Baci also quoted Isaiah 61:7, adding,

“Instead of your shame you will receive a double portion… everlasting joy will be yours.”
