Hilda Bassey’s Bold Attempt to Cook the World’s Largest Jollof Rice

Nigerian celebrity chef and Guinness World Record holder, Hilda Baci, has set her sights on another culinary milestone: cooking the world’s largest pot of Jollof rice.

Hilda Baci, who captured global attention in 2023 with her cook-a-thon that earned her a Guinness World Record for the longest cooking marathon, is now taking on a challenge that resonates deeply across West Africa.

Jollof rice is not just a meal—it is a cultural identity, a source of pride, and a hotly debated dish among countries like Nigeria, Ghana, and Senegal, all of whom claim to make the best version.

The attempt to cook the largest Jollof rice is not merely about size but also about cultural celebration and national pride.
For Nigeria, where Jollof rice is a staple at nearly every party and festival, this challenge represents a chance to showcase the country’s creativity, agricultural strength, and culinary expertise on the world stage.

The event is expected to draw huge crowds, including food lovers, tourists, and cultural enthusiasts.
Beyond the spectacle, the cooked Jollof rice will also be shared among communities, ensuring the initiative has a humanitarian impact while promoting Nigerian cuisine globally.

For Hilda, this challenge symbolizes resilience and ambition. “It’s more than just cooking,” she reportedly said.
“It’s about showing the world the richness of our culture and the endless possibilities that come when we believe in ourselves.”

If successful, this feat could earn Nigeria another spot in the Guinness World Records, reaffirming the country’s place as a hub of talent,
innovation, and cultural heritage.

As anticipation builds, Nigerians and West Africans are rallying behind Hilda Bassey, confident that this attempt will be another history-making moment
not just for her, but for Jollof rice lovers worldwide.
