Somebody tell Chef Rosebud Benitez of Quickfire that her continuous yakking during her cooking segment is soo darn irritating! She kept on yapping about the umami taste and even forcing her guest to agree with her. Who the hell wants too much MSG in their food?!?

On the other hand, I commend those who are behind My Favorite Recipes of Chef Aileen Anastacio, including the chef herself. Every recipe they present is mouthwatering! And oh-so-yummy! I feel like pigging out whenever I watch her segment. Unlike Quickfire’s quickfire yapping of Rosebud, Favorite’s smooth presentation of each recipe by Aileen is a joy to the heart.

Kudos to QTV 11 for bringing back the cooking segments in local TV!

I love watching cooking shows. You can put me in front of a tv and make me watch 24 hours straight. As long as it’s cooking shows. Naturally, I watch Quick Fire, a cooking show patterned after the 30-minute meals made famous by Rachel Ray. It is hosted by Chef Rosebud Benitez.

What she does is she cooks a meal good for one person in a 10 minutes. I like how she delivers the show. But I just have one comment to make… I wish she would just be made to speak in Tagalog-English (Taglish) instead of the ‘trying hard’ way she speaks in English all the time. Anyway, her target audience are Filipino moms.
