Some dishes were Liberian-style Zolof rice, cassava leaves, and individual stews and soup, with vegetables such as black pepper, okra and cabbage with white rice. Many dishes were inspired by Nigerian, Asian and Australian cooking. For Avet Quoibia, the road was not easy for the Guinness World Record. The organization chooses participants for endowed-based titles based on an applicant-key basis. However, the Liberian-Australian chef’s determination and grit impressed the GWR team, and was selected for achievement.
The next two months of preparation came. Quoibia discussed his views with an event planner, an assistant chef, his church and a team of kitchen volunteers. He also launched a gofundme for Crowdsource money for the kitchen supply. Items such as semolina flour, cassava, tomato, pounded yama, and rice bags were required in bulk for challenge.
In February 2024, everything was set. Quoibia started with strength, set to defeat the previous records of 119 hours, 57 minutes and 16 seconds. For this, he will have to cook for more than five consecutive days. While the applicants are allowed to have a 20 -minute break once every four hours, Ethevite Quoibia felt that her resting place at a distance of five minutes, it means that her brake would be spent to go and leave for 10 minutes of. He spent the remaining time to eat, refresh himself or take a power blink. The chef confessed that the power nap was extremely difficult because they had disgusting and slowing it.

Around four or five days, she began to falter. But the people around him helped him stay on the track. “There were times when it was really stressful, and there were times when I really enjoyed it. For example, at a time when there were a lot of people, and people were having fun and cheering me – I achieved their energy from him,” Quibia told the Guinness World Records.
She was so engrossed in her cooking that Quoibia did not realize even when she scored a record on 19 February 2024. “Honestly, I was not in mental state to know where I (time-wise) was going. I was just going until anyone made an announcement from my church and attracted his attention on time,” she said. He dancing to music with his friends and community, gave the rest of his food and celebrated a three -day long nap. While she does not know how long her record will last, Quobia is happy that her feat will give someone else an opportunity to get his dream.
