Ghanaian chef, Leticia Martekie Sankah, also known as Tisha Bites, has apologised to Ghanaians for her role in Chef Smith's cook-a-thon, which has been exposed as fraudulent.

Sankah worked as an assistant to Chef Smith during his Guinness World Record attempt for the longest cooking marathon by an individual from February 1 to March 6, 2024.

However, following revelations from the Guinness World Records Office that Chef Smith never provided any evidence of his attempt and that the plaque he displayed on July 2, 2024 was counterfeit, Leticia expressed her deepest regrets for her involvement.

In a post on her Facebook account on July 6, 2024, she stated that she was completely unaware of the fraudulent nature of the event and had participated in good faith, believing she was supporting a legitimate cause.

She added that her intention was to showcase her culinary skills and help someone she thought of as a friend.

“I was unaware of the fraudulent intentions and believed I was supporting a friend in a legitimate endeavour.

“My intention was to showcase my culinary skills and support someone I trusted,” she said.

Upon realising her inadvertent contribution to the deceptive event, Sankah said she has taken full responsibility for her actions.

“I now understand that my actions contributed to the situation. I take full responsibility for my part and assure you that I have learned from this experience.

“I regret any harm and disappointment caused to my loved ones and appreciate their support," she said.
