She urged the crowd of supporters present at the event to continue cheering her on and wishing her success.
The four-day cook-a-thon, which kicks off Thursday at 4 pm, includes celebrity visits, networking, games and brand activations.
The attempt will make Hilda Baci take an hour break every 12 hours of cooking.
The Cook-a-thon is an attempt by the actress and TV producer who has showcased her culinary skills on various TV Cook shows and represented Nigeria in the Jollof Faceoff competition in 2021, emerging as the winner.
This time, the Nigerian food entrepreneur is aiming to break the Guinness World Record of 87 hours, 45 minutes and 00 seconds set by chef Lata Tondon in Rewa, India, in 2019.
