GWR: 'We're not in competition with anyone' - Nigerian chef embarking on Cook-a-thon stresses

Chef Beauty Obasuyi, a Nigerian chef based in Canada, has declared plans to set a record-breaking eight-day Guinness World Record (GWR) cooking marathon.

With a window of opportunity from January 10 to January 18, Chef Beauty hopes to shatter previous records and bring back the record previously held by Hilda Baci.

With this revelation, Chef Faila of Ghana, who is also on her attempt to break the record by an Irish chef based in rural Japan, Alan Fisher has extended her run to 10 days to wit 240 hours.

In a post 24 hours before the start of her attempt, Beauty said that while Faila cooks for ten days, she won't strive to outdo her and will instead prepare for eight days because she isn't in competition with anyone.

Beauty expressed her gratitude to her followers for their love and support.
