A 10 minute cooking show is getting a lot of buzz, these days, especially among young and busy moms.
Hosted by rising chef Rosebud Benitez, the programming of QTV-11 has become more interesting, each installment of the show features 10-minute wonders, dishes that take 10 minutes or less to cook.
Chef Rosebud was hired to host “Quickfire” right out of “Ka-Toque”, another QTV-11 show.
When I was still with “Ka-toque' I’ve always hoped. I’m always like that. I hope that somebody would recognize your skill as a host and as a chef. So “Quickfire” really came as a surprise. I even consulted everyone what they thought of it," she replied.
Compared to "Katoque" Chef Rosebud looks "Quickfire" as more challenging because she is all alone and without the "barkada-chef."
Chef Rosebud will do a step-by-step demo of how the dish is prepared and cooked.
"Quickfire" will be aired in three 10-minute recipe capsules before "Balitanghali," before "Moms" and before "Sweet Life" in the evenings which will give QTV-11 audience three new mouth watering and delicious recipes every day from Monday to Friday. On weekends, "Quickfire" will air only once, at 9pm. " In each 10-minute recipe, the beautiful Rosebud will do a step-by-step demo of how the dish is prepared and cooked.
Benitez is joined by celebrities who give her a situation that she has to give a 10-minute solution. In recent episodes we’ve seen Joyce Jimenez, Tessa Prieto Valdes, Daphne Oseña-Paez, Dr. Hayden Kho, Suzie Entrata, Drew Arellano, Polo Ravales, Carlo Aquino and Sunshine Dizon among others.
One of Chef Rosebud’s goals with "Quickfire" is to demonstrate easy steps to her 10-minute meals to eliminate the tensions from the complications of cooking. She will also offer practical alternative ingredients for her recipes to her viewers. Viewers who love cooking can also learn valuable kitchen tips, gain solutions to food emergencies and other time-saving cooking tips.
With regards to her outtfit, she won’t be wearing a chef uniform. She will be dressed in smart casual clothes so that her target audience can relate to her. What she’ll be projecting on TV is that she’s not only a chef but also a mom. She’s also pegged by the channel as the local version of BBC TV’s Nigella Lawson, the chef and host in "Nigella Express."
Chef Rosebud passion with food began when she was a nine-year-old girl who would sell cookies and macaroons to her friends and classmates for some extra pocket money.
When she is not cooking for the cameras, Chef Rosebud is helping out in the family business, which is also related to food. She has managed a bar and is currently working on the menu of Fab, a bar in the Malate area
