Is there anything more luxurious than lobster? Whether you draw from the French canon and bake it into a soufflé or opt for the aromatics of ginger, soy or shallot, the rich flavour of this king of crustaceans always shines through. Served in its shell, lobster is a dramatic showstopper but if we're honest, we'll gladly enjoy it any which way: baked into pasta, adding a luxurious touch to an omelette or headlining the sandwich of our dreams. How will you take yours?
