A Kenyan chef who has attempted to set a world record for nonstop cooking at least twice in the past is at it again.

This time Maliha Mohammed is attempting to set a 90-hour record for home cooking and has been streaming the challenge through her TikTok page.

By 0900 (0600 GMT) on Monday Kenyan time, Ms Mohammed had already been cooking for more than the record of 68 hours, 30 minutes and one second, set in 2018 by American Rickey Lumpkin II, according to the Guinness World Records.

She says the record she is pursuing differs from the one set earlier this year by Nigerian chef Hilda Baci.

“I will be cooking nonstop for the longest home kitchen cooking marathon. That is a different title from what Chef Hilda was cooking,” she said on her Youtube page.

In response to criticism that she was imitating Ms Baci, Mohamed said that she applied for her attempt in December 2022.

Anyone seeking to break a Guinness record needs to submit an application and get approval from the body for their record to stand.

Ms Mohammed has performed previous cooking marathons - in 2018, she attempted to set a world record, cooking for 72 hours.

In 2019, she did a 75-hour cooking marathon. However, Guinness handed the cooking marathon record to Indian chef Lata London, who completed a cooking marathon of 87 hours and 45 minutes that year.

In her latest challenge, Ms Mohammed is cooking 320 Swahili, Kenyan, Middle eastern, Mediterranean and international dishes.
