Bright citrus cuts the richness of lobster in this colourful salad.
There is nothing better than fresh lobster from the Maritimes. Lobster tails are marinated in a very simple marinade and grilled. One of my favourite childhood dishes my mum made was Jumbo Prawns split and filled with some hot fresh chili and shallot paste and then grilled over a charcoal fire. Here I've tried to capture that flavour of red pepper and shallots in the marinade. In the summer I serve lobster tails over a simple bed of organic greens ladled with a generous amount of peach salsa and hearty bread from my favourite bakery or I do up some coconut rice and serve the lobster tails with the rice.

"There has to be lobster," agreed Bob and Barbara when planning the menu. And what a delicious way to savour it: in a fragrant, light dressing with an Asian heritage. To julienne daikon (large Asian radish), cut peeled daikon crosswise into very thin slices, then into matchstick-size strips.
Making the ravioli is simplified with purchased Asian dumpling wrappers, but you can opt to make your own pasta dough. You can substitute cooked shrimp for the lobster.
Lobster gives these an authentic Nova Scotian touch, and the two sauces — one a colourful roasted pepper and the other, a creamy dill — add a touch of Laceby indulgence. Serve as an appetizer or main course, depending on your appetite.
This dish is thought to have been created in 1894 by Chez Marie, a Paris restaurant, for the opening of Victorien Sardou's play Thermidor. Others say it was first tasted by Napoleon during Thermidor, the 11th month of the calendar invented during the French Revolution.
