More original yet: take some pansies (the garden flower), petals and heart. Rinse them and add to your vinaigrette. Yes, lobster also pairs well with vinaigrette!

A large lobster can be cooked in pieces. Cut into lengths and wrap in aluminum foil with some seasonal vegetables cut into julienne. Season and place on the grill for half an hour.

Lobster meat responds to even the most delicate court-bouillon. To a pot of cold water add two carrots, two new onions, salt, pepper and 200 g (7 oz.) crushed star anise. Cook 20 minutes, strain and return to the boil. Drop in your lobster until it turns red!

What wines should you choose to go with lobster? The great white wines pair nicely with lobster. A round, well-structured rosé is suitable for some preparations in sauce. And why not champagne?
