Chef Failatu Ends Cookathon On A Record 227 Hours


Ghanaian chef, Failatu Abdul-Razak on Wednesday (10 January) officially ended her attempt to break the longest solo cooking record in the Guinness World Records in a culinary feat that has captured the attention of the nation.

She has, therefore, unofficially claimed the longest cooking marathon (individual) after clocking a time of 227 hours.

The current record of 119 hours and 57 minutes, was achieved by Alan Fisher from Ireland, who set the record in 2023.

She was initially billed to cook from 1 to 5 January but have had to extend her attempt to ten days due to a similar 144 hours attempt by Ugandan chef Mama D.
