Chef Rosebud Benitez on the set of Ka-Toque, with guest Senator Francis Escudero

Rosebud Benitez is a Filipina celebrity chef and the host of Quickfire, a 10-minute television cooking show broadcast several times daily on GMA News TV (formerly known as Q), a sister station of GMA Network.[1] The show is considered to be one of the most easily recognizable productions of the alternative network, with an offshoot bestselling DVD compilation of highlight episodes.[2] Before Quickfire, Benitez was part of the culinary group program Ka-Toque, Q’s first-of-a-kind that spawned a whole new generation of broadcast cuisine productions and chef-hosts.[3] Though wedged within a smorgasbord of equally sociable young chefs in Ka-Toque, Benitez became the first in the group to be given a solo show and the only non-actor to be invited by GMA Artist Center to join its register of contract stars.[4]

After graduating from the prestigious Center for Culinary Arts, Manila, Benitez (who has the nickname “Chef Mom”)[5] has become a popular public culinary figure in the Philippines, gracing billboards for the food company Ajinomoto and achieving status as a most requested chef to conduct cooking demonstrations for corporate events and TV programs.[6] She has hosted and presented several media and live events[7] and has appeared as a guest in several TV productions of varying formats and genres.[8] She has also been featured in lifestyle magazines, broadsheets, photo exhibits, and food blogs on wmn.ph;[9] selected as one of the seven society women to represent the scent of S.T. Dupont Rose in Manila; nominated in the 2009 and 2010 PMPC Star Awards for TV;[10] and honored as one of People Asia’s “Women of Style and Substance” for 2009.[11]

Benitez lives in Quezon City with her children Katrina and Kyle.[12]
