Beauty Obasuyi, a Nigerian-born Canadian and the founder of Naija Jollof, is preparing for a significant challenge. Starting on January 10th at 295A Queen St. East in Brampton, she aims to break the Guinness World Record for the ‘Longest Cooking Marathon.’ Beyond the cooking feat, her mission is deeply rooted in supporting needy families.
Hilda Baci from Lagos, Nigeria, cooked 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 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 for this prestigious title.
Beauty Obasuyi’s aspirations extend beyond mere cooking. She is known for her philanthropic endeavours, especially in helping homeless families or those in shelters. Her marathon is not just about setting records, but also about emphasizing 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 support Beauty in this significant undertaking, recognizing her cooking passion combined with a genuine commitment to philanthropy.
