Hilda Baci, a talented 27-year-old chef, recently shared her remarkable culinary journey, attributing her exceptional skills to a higher calling.

After capturing the hearts of Nigerians and the global diaspora with her awe-inspiring feat of cooking continuously for 100 hours, surpassing the previous record set by Indian chef Lata Tondon, Baci became a symbol of culinary excellence.

During her interview on Channels Television's Sunrise Daily, Baci expressed her deep-rooted passion for cooking, emphasizing that it has always been a cherished hobby. The young chef explained that even during her time as a TV presenter, she recognized the importance of devoting herself to her culinary talents and the business aspect of her career, ultimately building a thriving enterprise.

The young chef said, “So, even when I was a TV presenter — and that’s not to say I’m no longer a [TV] host because I’m still very capable of doing those things, it’s more, I chose to apply myself more here because I needed to focus on this aspect of my life and the business aspect, to basically build a system.

“Even when I was on TV, what I did was host a cooking show and a cooking segment on a breakfast show. So, somehow, even in the other aspects of my career, cooking still pretty much shines out the best, and I would say it’s what God wants me to do.”

She further stressed that the success of her cooking business, MyFood by Hilda, was a sign that she had found her calling.

“The minute I started my business, the response to it was amazing. The response to it has been amazing, and that’s just a testament to show that this is what I’m meant to do and I love doing it. So, for the most part, it doesn’t feel like work,” Baci said.

Meanwhile, Baci stated in the interview that she would love to get her Guinness World Record certificate before anyone attempts to surpass her feat.
