In her record-breaking effort Baci cooked mostly Nigerian meals, such as jollof rice, different types of other rice, and pasta, and also made akara – a popular street food made from deep-fried mashed beans. The food was then handed out to guests.
According to Guinness World Record rules, Baci was allowed one assistant at a time and was only permitted to use the toilet or nap during her breaks.
