An Ongata Rongai chef has earned her place in history after Guinness World Records officially recognised Dorcas Kwamboka for achieving the fastest time to make three chapatis, with the announcement sparking a wave of celebration online.
Guinness World Records shared the news across their official social media pages, drawing widespread attention to the Kenyan chef whose love for a staple East African flatbread turned into a global achievement.
In a statement accompanying the announcement, Guinness World Records described Dorcas as a chef with a deep passion for food, cooking and record-breaking.
“She has always enjoyed making chapatis so she put her skills to the test and managed to beat the previous record by 43 seconds,” the statement read.
Following the recognition, Dorcas posted a photo of herself reclining on her bed, certificate in hand, in what she described as a well-earned rest.
“I may be in bed today, but my name has travelled beyond borders. To put my country on global map, Guinness World Records holder, proudly representing my county to the world. Resting like a queen because history has already been made,” she wrote.
She also poked fun at her own situation, admitting that her bank account had not yet caught up with her fame, though her pride in the achievement was unmistakable.
Dorcas Fires Back at Doubters
Before Guinness World Records posted the official recognition, some people questioned whether Dorcas had genuinely earned the title.
She did not let that go unaddressed. In a now-viral response, she said:
“Those who insulted me that Guinness World Records had not posted me, good evening, good evening tena, how’s your family.”
The comeback landed well with her growing audience, many of whom flooded the comments with congratulatory messages.
