Chef Failatu Abdul Razak continues her quest to break the current Guinness World Record for the longest cooking marathon, today, Thursday, January 4, 2024.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today marks day 4 of her attempt, having started her quest to break the current Guinness World Record for the longest cooking marathon \u2013 cook-a-thon \u2013 on Monday, January 1, 2024.<\/p>\n

She is aiming to clock a 120-hour cook-a-thon with the event hosted at the Modern City Hotel in Tamale, which means that she would have to continue cooking till Friday, January 5, 2024.<\/p>\n

Initial videos shared by the state broadcaster, GTV, showed Failatu and her assistants in their glass-shielded kitchen setup embossed with the images of Chef Faila.<\/p>\n

She has enjoyed the backing of Ghanaians across the country who have trooped to the venue for the event to show their support.<\/p>\n

Cook-a-thon became popular in 2023 after Nigerian chef Hilda Baci broke the then-world record. An Irish chef, however, overthrew her months later.<\/p>\n

Alan Fisher cooked for 119 hours, 57 minutes and 16 seconds.<\/p>\n
