Chef Dammy, has graduated from culinary school, officially earning her certification as a professional chef.
The achievement marks a major step forward following her high-profile but unrecognized 120-hour cook-a-thon attempt in Oye-Ekiti, which, despite lacking Guinness World Records approval, brought her nationwide attention.
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.
Although her attempt was not officially monitored or certified by Guinness World Records due to her failure to follow necessary registration protocols, the event brought her massive publicity and highlighted her determination to pursue a professional career in the culinary arts.
Her decision to enroll in and complete culinary school signals a successful pivot from seeking record fame to securing formal professional qualifications.
