Steps:
- For the Lobster Salad: Drain the cooked lobster meat in a colander for 5 minutes. Set out a large mixing bowl. Then chop the fresh herbs.
- If using claw meat, there is no need to chop it, but you can if you want smaller pieces. (If using lobster tails, chop it into bite-size pieces.) Move the lobster meat to the mixing bowl and add the mayonnaise, dill, parsley, salt, garlic powder, and pepper. Mix well.
- Cover and chill under ready to serve.
- For the Toasted Rolls: Spread both flat sides of the New England rolls with a generous amount of butter.
- Heat a large skillet (or griddle) to medium heat. Place the rolls flat-side-down in the skillet. Toast for 1-3 minutes until golden-brown. Then flip and toast the other side for 1-3 minutes. Remove and repeat as needed.
- Once all of the rolls are perfectly toasted, load them with lobster salad and serve!

Steps:
- Boil the water in a large pot with a lid and add salt, parsley, bay leaves and peppercorns. Place the lobsters into the boiling water, making sure you leave the rubber bands on the claws (to avoid being pinched). Boil covered for about 15 minutes, then remove to a tray. (If using lobster tails only, the cooking time will be less. Boil until the meat is no longer translucent.)
- To shell the lobster, separate the tail from the body by lightly twisting. Remove the claws, and using a lobster cracker or nut cracker, extract the lobster meat and place on a serving platter.
- Put the melted butter in appropriately sized bowls for dipping the lobster pieces and enjoy!
- Note: You can keep the stock from the pot for when you need stock (for soups or other recipes) in the future. Strain, allow to cool, and freeze in labeled containers or plastic bags in 1/2 or 1 cup increments. I actually like to freeze them in ice cubes containers (each cube is about 1/8 of a cup) and then toss them into a labeled plastic bag. (Waste not, want not!)
JOëL ROBUCHON'S LOBSTER IN SAUTERNES
The great Joël Robuchon had interesting things to say about lobsters, some of which may be taken with a grain of sel, for example his preference for Brittany lobsters, especially those from Finistère, over the American variety. But his tender description of their lovemaking when the female has molted while the male is still in his armor is touching, as is his account of the lobster's suicidal affection for the conger eel. This recipe for lobster in Sauternes is divine.

Steps:
- In a stockpot just large enough to hold the lobsters, add 3 inches of water and 1 tablespoon of salt. When the water boils, add the lobster bodies, return water to a boil and poach for 3 minutes. Remove lobsters and twist off the legs and discard. Remove the large claws and knuckles and return them to the pot. Boil for 2 minutes, remove, rinse under cold water and when cool enough to handle crack the claws and knuckles and remove the meat. Set aside.
- In a cocotte or a casserole with a lid just large enough to hold the lobsters snugly, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Cut the carrots into thin rounds and sauté them. Melt 2 more tablespoons of butter in the pan with the carrots. Add the onions and a pinch of salt and sauté until the onions are soft but not brown. Add the Sauternes, orange juice, the remaining butter, the ginger, the saffron, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a boil.
- Add the lobster bodies, return the liquid to a boil, cover and boil for 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 3 minutes.
- Remove the lobsters and split them in half lengthwise using a heavy chef's knife. Remove the meat and discard the shells.
- Add the claw meat to the liquid and warm it over a low flame. Arrange the tail meat on plates, and distribute the claw meat equally. If necessary, reduce the liquid, season with sea salt and pepper and stir in parsley. Divide the reduction evenly among the lobsters.

Steps:
- Bring water to a boil in a 12-quart stockpot. Add lobsters, cover, and cook 13 to 15 minutes. Set a colander in a large bowl. Working over colander, snip the tip of each lobster claw to release juices into bowl. Separate lobster meat from shells, and cut into bite-size pieces. Reserve meat and shells separately. Strain cooking liquid through a fine sieve lined with cheesecloth into bowl with lobster juices.
- Using the same stockpot, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Add chopped leek, corncobs, and reserved lobster shells. Cook, stirring, for 4 minutes. Add reserved lobster liquid, and simmer gently for 20 minutes. Strain through a cheesecloth-lined sieve. Discard solids.
- Puree 1 cup lobster broth with 1 cup corn kernels. Melt remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a large pot over low heat. Add sliced leek, and cook for 2 minutes. Sprinkle in flour, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in pureed corn mixture, and cook, stirring often, until broth thickens, about 2 minutes. Add remaining lobster broth, raise heat, and simmer. Add zucchini, summer squash, and remaining 2 cups corn, and cook until squashes are tender, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in reserved lobster meat, and heat until warmed through, about 1 minute. Season with salt, and garnish with basil. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- In a 15" braising pan, sauté carrots on high heat for 2 minutes. Add Sauternes and reduce by half. Add chicken stock and bring to a boil. Take 6" skewers and run them the length of the lobster's tail. This keeps the tail form curling while cooking. Add the lobsters to the pan along with the ginger. Cover and cook until done (about 5 1/2 minutes). When done, remove all the meat from the lobster and slice tail into 5 medallions. Arrange around plate, leaving a space in the middle for garnish. Strain cooking liquid into a 5 inch sauce pot, add 1/2 cup heavy cream and reduce by 1/3. Finish by mounting with butter to desired thickness. Add salt and pepper and chopped chives. Spoon onto medallions. Garnish with fresh fettucine, tossed in butter and parsley.
