Ghanaian chef, Failatu Abdul Razak, who embarked on a 10-day cooking project in an attempt to break the Guinness World Records’ longest cooking marathon, has shared the challenges she faced the night before her attempt.
In her first media interview after the event, the chef revealed that she fell ill after arriving at the Modern City Hotel, the venue for the anticipated event.
Chef Faila said this situation left her frustrated and worried as she was set to begin her cook-a-thon journey the following day.
However, her medical team intervened to make her dream a reality.

She expressed gratitude to the medical team and her management for their efforts and support during this challenging time.
Despite the initial setbacks, Chef Faila completed her cook-a-thon attempt on January 10, 2023, clocking an impressive 227 hours, approximately nine days and 11 hours.
She is now awaiting scrutiny from the Guinness World Records, who will examine the evidence to determine whether she has broken the current record held by Alan Fisher of Ireland, who clocked 119 hours and 57 minutes.
