She has been able to make varieties of food such as: rice and beans, beans porridge, Semovita with vegetables, porridge, spaghetti, among other delicious meals.
However, the quest has caused a social media frenzy over the weekend and received with mixed feelings.
Pulse exclusively spoke to a Spokesperson of Chef Dammy, the Ekiti chef who is attempting to break the world records for the longest time spent cooking.
Chef Dammy’s spokesperson told Pulse that she applied to Guinness World Records before attempting. This is because an application is necessary for recognition by Guinness World Records upon successful completion.
When asked about the news that people were asked to pay for the food Chef Dammy cooked, as well as other rumours circulating like the gas being turned off.
The spokesperson said they were all false. “Don’t believe anything you read on social media, people are just trying to bring us down.”
