Nigerian celebrity chef Hilda Baci has announced that she is now a three-time Guinness World Record holder, following confirmation that her September 2025 feat also earned her the title for the largest serving of rice overall.

Baci, who had already broken the world record for the largest serving of Nigerian-style jollof rice in September 2025, revealed on Tuesday via Instagram—and updated her bio to read “Chef X3 Guinness World Record Holder”—that her effort had also earned her the title for the largest serving of rice overall.

“Woke up a three-time Guinness World Records holder and I’m still trying to wrap my head around it. What a way to step into 2026,” she wrote.

The Guinness World Records team informed Baci through an email from Andrew Fanning, Head of Client Partnering – Records Creative Team, that her attempt at the “Largest serving of Nigerian-style jollof rice” had simultaneously broken another record. Punch
