Failatu Abdul-Rasak, also known as Faila, a chef from Ghana, has cooked for a total of 227 hours.

On January 1st, 2024, Faila began a cooking marathon at the Modern City Hotel in Tamale to set a new Guinness World Record.

She successfully completed the marathon after ten days on Wednesday.

Speaking in a social media post, Faila wrote; “Now, it’s time for us to rejoice and jubilate. This victory is dedicated to God and Ghana. Thank you all, m’pagya!”

During the attempt, Faila attracted support from Ghanaian celebrities, including former Black Star footballers, Stephen Appiah and Asamoah Gyan.
