Ghanaians have flooded social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, with reactions on the outcome of chef Abdul-Failatu Razak‘s cooking marathon attempt.
Despite Guinness World Records (GWR) declaring her effort unsuccessful, they acknowledged its inspirational impact on her fans.
Starting her 10-day attempt on January 1, 2024, at the Modern City Hotel in Tamale, chef Faila aimed to break the record for the longest cook-a-thon by an individual.
Chef Failatu had intended to beat the official 119-hour record set by Alan Fisher.
Ably assisted by her deputy chef, Eric, she achieved an impressive 227 hours and some minutes.

They're so focused on the fame and not the record-breaking. How can you stop cooking for over 1 minute just vibing to a musician singing for you? 🤣 pic.twitter.com/QzppBkfrxh

But I like her professionalism, not trying to keep it a secret and not trying to challenge the system
