LAPLACE — Natasha St. Pierre Clement celebrated the season six premiere of Fox’s MasterChef Wednesday night with friends and family in her LaPlace home.

Clement starred as a contestant on the cooking competition show, which featured 40 home cooks from all walks of life hoping to turn their culinary dreams into reality.

She was ultimately not one of the 22 cooks chosen to continue in the show’s season, but Clement said she is ready to audition again next year.
