Nigerian chef Damilola Adeparusi, popularly known as Chef Dammy, has officially graduated from culinary school, marking a significant milestone in her professional career. The graduation certifies her as a professional chef, a long-held dream for the young culinary enthusiast.
From Record Attempt to Certification
The news of her certification comes months after she gained national attention for her ambitious, yet controversial, cooking attempt. Earlier this year, Chef Dammy attempted an unregistered 120-hour cook-a-thon in Oye-Ekiti, Ekiti State. The marathon cooking effort was aimed at challenging the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking time by an individual.
