Failatu Abdul Zakari is said to be reconsidering her plan for her attempt to break the Guinness World Record (GWR) for the longest cooking marathon.

Chef Faila set out on Monday, January 1, 2023, to break the GWR for the longest cooking marathon, which Ireland's Alan Fisher now holds.

With 119 hours and 57 minutes of cooking, Fisher broke the record earlier set by Nigeria's Hilda Baci.

As Faila started her record attempt, slated initially from January 1 to January 5, news filtered in that a Ugandan lady had also done a 144-hour attempt, which was under review.

But new information circulating online has indicated the Tamale-based lady is reconsidering the 120 hours she initially planned.

According to media personality Gifty Anti, information reaching her suggests that Faila will attempt to cook for 200 hours.

In a post on her Instagram page, Gifty Anti also revealed that Chef Faila is not only attempting the longest hours for cooking record but will also try to break three other records.

The other records include the number of dishes cooked within the period, the number of people fed, and the presentation of the food.
