Nigerian celebrity chef and Guinness World Record holder, Hilda Baci, has been spotted in a viral video cooking a test batch of jollof rice in a massive custom-built pot.
The trial run is part of preparations for her official attempt to cook the world’s largest pot of jollof rice, scheduled for September 12, 2025, at Muri Okunola Park in Lagos during the Gino World Jollof Festival—a celebration of West African food, music, and culture.
Baci, who shot to global fame in 2023 after earning the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking marathon, emphasized that the project goes beyond setting a record.
In an Instagram post, she shared:
“Six metres wide. Six metres tall. On September 12, we make history together. Because what is jollof without you to share it with?”
