Marianne muffs it up anyway by mixing the stuff with warm liquid, thus getting a premature snap, crackle and pop. Old hat, Michel - they're even using it on Come Dine with Me. What magic is this? Well, Michel calls them "crackle crystals" - popping candy to you and me. The praline are rice crispie cakes with an "unexpected sensory twist" which will "elevate them to Michelin standards". Marianne's making Chocolate Truffle Mousse on a Crispy Praline Base served with a Bitter Chocolate Sorbet, three perfect blocks of Rum Jelly and a Pink Praline Tuile, a favourite at Le Gavroche. I'm wondering if that sounds less mad in French. But today they're going to have to cook out of their skins". Michel's been impressed so far, but wants more from our finalists. "Daniel" is 27 year old Newcastle lad Daniel Graham, again a fairly classical chef, producing beautiful food of consistently high quality, whilst looking like an extra in Emmerdale. Please", and an unfortunate tendency to undercook meat. "Marianne" is pastry queen Marianne Lumb, a classical, private chef with a sweet manner, a slightly disconcerting grin, a pleading look in her eyes that says "Please don't make me cook for Bono again.
"Steve" is 28 year old Steve Groves, an emininently endearing Rowland Rivron lookalike with a cheeky smile and an eccentric touch who I'll always know as Smokey Egg Steve for his amazing poached egg concoction bathed in a cloche of smoke which made Gregg and Michel giggle like a pair of naughty schoolboys. Hyperbole aside, it will be tough since all three have shown signs of real talent throughout.

At the end of this show just one of these three will be CROWNED Professional MasterChef 2009". Voiceover lady intones "Steve, Marianne and Daniel have BATTLED their way through EXTREME competion to face their ULTIMATE tests. However, now it's just down to Michel and Gregg to decide just who will take the coveted title and win a small plastic trophy that looks a bit like the symbol. Thankfully, these so-called professionals were screened out by the marvellously terrifying Monica Galetti - Kiwi sous-chef to Michel Roux Jnr and a fab new addition to MasterChef.
At the start, we saw such abominations as the girl who sliced butter on a board covered in rabbit blood, the lads who butchered chickens in the bad sense of the word, and people who seem to have never made a pancake in their lives. And so we've reached the final of MasterChef the Professionals 2009.
