  •  Maliha Mohammed has set a new Guinness World Record for the longest home kitchen cooking marathon.

Kenyan Chef, Maliha Mohammed has set a new record for the longest home kitchen cookathon by an individual.

Chef Mohammed who started her cook-a-thon on August 11, unofficially set a new record on Tuesday after cooking for 90 hours surpassing the previous Guinness World record held by American chef Rickey Lumpkin of California, who achieved a home cooking time of 68 hours, 30 minutes, and 1 second in December 2018.

Sharing the news on Instagram: She wrote, “@seagasltd Yes, we did it! New world record holder for the longest home kitchen cooking marathon in town Shukran for the support.


Maliha had announced in May that she was going to attempt to break Hilda Baci’s cooking record. Baci set a new Guinness World Record in June 2023 after cooking for 93 hours.

This is not Maliha’s first attempt at breaking a cooking record. In 2018, she attempted to set a world record for cooking for 72 hours. She also did a 75-hour cooking marathon.

However, as of the time of filing this report, Chef Muhammed’s new cooking record has not been confirmed by the Guinness World Record.
