CHEZ WHO? Find out which of the three chefs scoops the top prize.

TAKE three chefs, add to a week in Provence, stir with a celebrity chef and bring to the boil with temperature raising challenges. Yes, it's Chez

Dudley and this week we'll discover which of the three finalists managed to winningly tantalise the judges' tastebuds.

The talented amateur chefs left wielding their wooden spoons from the original eight are Jan Wilson Jones from Ruthin, Anna Brown from Kidwelly and Nesta Treharne from Pontarddulais.

As they prepare to do battle for the coveted prize of a course at Raymond Blanc's famous cookery school and hotel in Oxfordshire Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons, we find out what makes them cook.

Best moment for you up to now in Chez Dudley? Nesta Definitely the highlight for me was the bouillabaisse festival where they made a huge bouillabaisse (fish soup) in a massive cauldron and then lifted it by crane onto a bonfire. Jan I really enjoyed making the fish in champagne sauce. There was just the two of us in the kitchen with Renee and I got a lot out of that from a cooking point of view.

Anna Watching the masters at work making their bouillabaisse. And Jan tackling the pestle and mortar was one of the best laughs.

Worst moment? Nesta Winning certain competitions meant you didn't do others so I missed stuffing a scorpion fish and winetasting! I'm a member of a wine club and was sorry about that.

Jan The first cooking challenge on the first day when we were given five secret ingredients. One was red mullet, which I've never cooked before.

Anna When we had to stuff the scorpion fish. Mine was half the size of everbody else's so I just used half the wine, drank the rest and the fish ended up a bit dry!

Signature dish?

Nesta Sea bass in dishwasher salt which is absolutely wonderful. Or I home smoke fish.

Jan Bread and butter pudding made with lots of vanilla, it's a bit like an egg custard. I love puddings and baking.

Anna I make a mean pavola. I enjoy cooking with the seasons too, particularly the festive season.

Dinner party wish list? Nesta Our friends and local GP Byron Evans and his wife Sheila. They really appreciate good food and wine.

Jan Difficult... Probably Julius Caesar and Leonardo da Vinci 

Anna My new friend Jan, my husband and my dad, Ingrid Bergman and Audrey Hepburn.

Celebrity chef hero? Nesta Delia Smith and Bryn Williams. I hope Father Christmas will bring me dinner for two at his London restaurant.

Jan Rick Stein because I love the way he cooks fish, Dudley for encouraging us to use local produce and Bryn Williams.

Anna Nigella. Her late sister Thomassina used to live near me and she was a gorgeous lady.

Desert island kitchen essential?

Nesta My wok.

Jan A really big frying pan.

Anna Pestle and mortar. Your guilty food secret?

Nesta Chocolate!

Jan Chocolate!

Anna Cheese as long as it has a glass of red wine beside it!

Who taught you to cook? Nesta I'm self-taught. My husband has a heart problem so I cook plain healthy food and save the cream sauces for guests

Jan My mum and the late Robert Hunter, a local restaurant owner who was trained by the Roux brothers. I went on one of his courses and he gave me confidence to try things. Anna My mum, she was a superb cook and any success I've had has to be attributed to her.

I also did a bit at catering college 26 years ago but not much.
