Driven by her unwavering passion to showcase the vibrant tapestry of Nigerian culinary traditions, Hilda embarked on this extraordinary mission with a clear objective in mind. "I wanted to put Nigerian cuisine on the map," she shared with resolute determination. "I also chose to break this record to truly push my limits and test my abilities."

In an interview with a Ghanaian based media house, the award-winning chef unveiled the numerous challenges she encountered during her awe-inspiring journey to the 100-hour cooking feat.

Hilda revealed that the immense stress of the marathon pushed her to experience her menstrual cycle and accompanying cramps earlier than expected. As a result, she diligently took showers during her breaks to maintain personal hygiene and change accordingly.

Hilda further explained that being on her period reduced the precious time she had for rest, intensifying an already arduous endeavour. "I was on my period the entire time, and I think that sort of made it extra hard. What that meant was it took away from the time I had to rest," she shared.
