Celebrity chef Hilda Baci has officially received her second Guinness World Record Plaque nearly two months after completing her attempt for The Largest Serving of Nigerian-Style Jollof Rice.
The award-winning chef made the remarkable attempt on September 12, 2025, at the Eko Hotel and Suites in Lagos, Nigeria. Hilda cooked an impressive 200 bags of 20kg basmati rice, which weighed 4,000 kilograms, for the record attempt. Although she initially planned to prepare 250 bags, her effort still marked one of the most ambitious culinary undertakings in Nigeria's history.
According to Guinness World Records, the largest serving of Nigerian-style jollof rice achieved by the celebrity chef, Hilda, is 8,780 kg (19356 lb, 9 oz).

“Our plaques are finally here!!! Two records. Two plaques. One story of faith, fire, and history. Twice, God showed up for me. Twice, we made history for Nigeria... Together with Gino, we created something bigger than ourselves — a story that reached over 5 billion people and reminded the world what’s possible when passion meets purpose. I’m a two-time world record holder, someone pinch me 🤭.”
The proud chef also posted stunning photos with both her previous and new plaques, celebrating her achievement with a caption.
“A two-time Guinness World Record Holder!!! ... Instead of your shame you will receive a double portion... everlasting joy will be yours. — Isaiah 61:7.”
