MasterChef Legends preview: Sherry Yard hopes these desserts rise to the occasion

After Chef Morimoto gave the home cooks a lesson in monkfish, MasterChef Legends welcomes legendary dessert and pastry chef Sherry Yard to the kitchen. Can these home cooks whip up a sweet treat that will impress the judges?

According to FOX, MasterChef Legends: Sherry Yard Dessert Challenge episode features the following:

"One of the world’s most influential pastry chefs, Sherry Yard, visits the MASTERCHEF kitchen. With elimination on the line, this dessert challenge puts the spotlight on the home cooks’ baking skills for the first time in the all-new “Legends: Sherry Yard – Dessert Challenge” episode of MASTERCHEF airing Wednesday, June 30 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX."

A dessert challenge can strike fear into any cook. While a savory recipe might be a dash of this or a smidge of that, a dessert is a touch of science mixed into building all those flavors. For example, if a home cook forgets the baking soda in step two, she cannot add it when the cake is in the oven. Precision, execution and confidence is key for all these home cooks.

Bringing Sherry Yard into the MasterChef Legends kitchen is a special treat. Many people will recognize her from other food television shows, but Yard is best known from her celebrated career working with Wolfgang Puck. From the James Beard awards to her Academy Award desserts, Yard brings sweet creativity and a positive attitude to the kitchen. Expect her to be a cheerleader for these home cooks.

What delicious, sweet treats will these home cooks whip up? Here’s how to watch MasterChef Legends: Sherry Yard – Dessert Challenge.
