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, now GTV), a sister station of GMA Network.

[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.

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]
