The young cook is sharing her side of the story.
Adedamilola Adeparusi, better known as Chef Dammy, has granted her first interview on her cook-a-thon.
Speaking with BBC News Yoruba, the young cook stated her reasons for embarking on a 120-hour cooking marathon.
Loosely translated, she said, “Concerning the Guinness World Record or competing with Hilda Baci, I did it for fun. Cooking is what I enjoy. I didn’t do it for the Guinness World Record. I am just doing it for people who might want to watch this little girl. I know people are surprised, but I feel good about it. Some people love me, and they are ready to back me up. About travelling out, if it comes, we will embrace it. It is a good thing.”
Chef Dammy also offered some advice to her supporters and anyone who cares to listen.
“Don’t focus on criticism, or what other people will say. Just go for it. Do what you feel like doing. At least you will enjoy the outcome,” she said.
