Nigerian chef, Damilola Adeparusi, better known as Chef Dammy has revealed that the 120-hours cook-a-thon she embarked on was not for recognition from the Guinness World Record.
Rather, Chef Dammy who spoke with BBC Yoruba revealed that her intentions for the marathon cooking were simply a personal challenge driven by her love for cooking.
The young Ekiti Chef made this revelation after successfully reaching her target of 120 hours.
Chef Dammy, who’s an undergraduate from Ekiti State, gained viral attention on social media when she embarked on an extraordinary feat of cooking continuously for 120 hours.
However, many believed her intentions were an attempt to surpass Nigerian chef, Hilda Baci’s record for the longest cooking time by an individual.
But during her interview with the BBC, she clarified that her remarkable endeavour was simply a personal challenge driven by her love for cooking.
She said in her dialect (Yoruba), “I did it because I enjoy cooking. I didn’t do it to be recognized by the Guinness World Record or to break Hilda Baci’s record.”
This comes after Guinness World Records broke its silence regarding Nigerian Chef, Damilola Adeparusi’s 120-hour cook-a-thon.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, Guinness World Record revealed that Dammy did not seek their approval before beginning the cook-a-thon, as some procedures and rules would have been sent to her to follow
Watch her speak below.
“The 120H cook-a-thon was just like an exercise for me, I didn’t do it for the Guinness World Record. I’m going back to school.” — Chef Dammy from Ekiti.
