A Nigerian-born Canadian, Beauty Obasuyi, has stepped forward to break the Guinness World Record for the ‘Longest Cooking Marathon.
Beauty Obasuyi, the founder of Naija Jollof, aims to start the Cook-A-Thon challenge on January 10th at 295A Queen St. East in Brampton.
A fellow Nigerian, Hilda Baci from Lagos, Nigeria, once held the record for cooking tirelessly for 100 hours, surpassing the previous record set by Lata Tondon of India, who cooked for an impressive 87 hours and 45 minutes.
However, Alan Fisher from Ireland recently elevated the bar by cooking for an astonishing 119 hours and 57 minutes!
With this in mind, Beauty Obasuyi has set her sights on surpassing Alan Fisher’s record, aiming to cook continuously for 8 days, or 192 hours. This determination only underscores the global passion of chefs like Beauty who aspire to attain this prestigious title.
Nestled in the heart of Brampton, Beauty Obasuyi’s aspirations go beyond mere cooking. She is also recognised for her philanthropic endeavours, especially in aiding homeless families or those in shelters.
Beauty’s Marathon is not just about setting records but also emphasising community solidarity and the unifying essence of food.
“This challenge embodies more than a record attempt; it’s about illuminating the needs within our community,” expressed Beauty. “It’s a testament to how, together, we can make a difference.”
Residents of Brampton and neighbouring areas are encouraged to rally behind Beauty in this significant undertaking, acknowledging her cooking passion paired with a genuine commitment to philanthropy.
