In a candid revelation, Hilda Baci, the Guinness World Record holder for the longest cooking marathon, has expressed her unique preference in a romantic partner. For Baci, her ideal man is someone who doesn’t know his way around the kitchen. This preference stems from her profound love for cooking, which she considers not just a skill but a means of expressing affection and care.

In an intimate interview on Madam Joyce’s podcast ‘Cocktails and Takeaways’, Baci shared insights into her culinary passion and how it intertwines with her personal life. “I don’t want a man who knows how to cook,” she stated. “I adore cooking so much. My friends know that my way of showing love is by sending food or cooking for someone. It’s something I cherish doing for people I care about, especially for my significant other.”

Baci’s relationship with cooking goes beyond mere preparation of meals; it is her love language. Her joy in cooking is so deep-rooted that she finds fulfillment in preparing dishes at any hour, driven by her desire to please and care for her loved ones. “You can wake me up in the middle of the night for a doughnut or a meat pie, and I’ll happily head to the kitchen. That’s my thing,” she explained.

For Baci, the ideal partner is someone who appreciates her culinary talents and shows love by occasionally ordering food for her. “If you’re comfortable ordering food for me, then you’ve won my heart,” she remarked.

Her prowess in the kitchen is not just about love and relationships; it is also a mark of her professional excellence. In May 2023, Baci achieved a remarkable feat by breaking the Guinness World Record for the longest individual cooking marathon, preparing over 110 meals within 100 hours. This accomplishment surpassed the previous record of 93 hours and 11 minutes, officially recognized by the Guinness World Records in June 2023.
