Tamale-based chef, Failatu Abdul-Razak’s attempt to break the world record for the longest cooking marathon by an individual has been declared unsuccessful.
Chef Faila began the longest cooking marathon on the 1st of January, 2024 and concluded on the 10th of January at the Modern City Hotel in the capital of the Northern Region.
According to a press release posted on her Instagram page on Sunday, March 3, Chef Faila announced that her attempt did not meet some of the criteria set by the Guinness World Records (GWR).
“A statement from the Records Management Team cited a violation of the rest break rules, resulting in an unsuccessful attempt,” part of the statement read.
Meanwhile, GWR commended Chef Faila and encouraged her to pursue future record attempts.
However, Chef Faila says she is thankful for the massive support from Ghanaians during her attempt.
“Although this attempt did not result in a world record, it has been an invaluable experience. I am proud of the dedication and hard work put forth, and I am committed to continuing to push boundaries in the culinary world,” she added.
She successfully completed a 227-hour cook-a-thon attempt after 10 days in the kitchen, hoping to beat the official 119-hour record set by Alan Fisher.
Throughout the marathon cooking session, she prepared a variety of local dishes and also projected the culture of the people of the Northern Region.
