The event kicked off at exactly 4 pm on May 11th at Amore Gardens, Lekki Lagos with cheers from fans spearheaded by popular On-Air personality, Ilooise. The timer started counting the moment Hilda turned on the cooker. The cook-a-thon attempt was broadcasted live on Youtube, and Instagram live. 

Hilda Baci cookathon, which will end today, May 14th, features a live-streamed show on multiple social media channels where Hilda will make over 250 recipes.

In order for Hilda to break this cook-a-thon record, she has to break the current record held by an Indian chef, Lata Tondon in 2019, who spent 87 hours, 45 minutes, and 00 seconds cooking — equivalent to 3 days, 15 hours, and 45 minutes.

Some of the celebrities spotted include Big Brother Naija ex-housemate and media personality Elozonam, Singer, Dremo, Social media personality Ama Reginald, Media personality, Eki Ogubor, TV Host and Actor, Seyi Awolowo, and Sydney Talker.
