Hilda, 26,  was officially declared Guiness World Record holder for the longest cooking marathon on Tuesday  June 13.

According to the Guinness World Record’s official page, “Hilda attempted to set a record of 100 hours, however, almost seven hours were deducted from her final total because she mistakenly took extra minutes for one of her rest breaks early on in the attempt.”
