Steps:
- For the lobster and sauce: Bring a large stockpot filled three-quarters of the way with water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the lobsters to the pot, making sure that each lobster is completely submerged. Cook the lobsters until they are bright red, about 8 minutes, then drain and set aside.
- For the mac and cheese: Add the 1 quart heavy cream, Parmesan, Dijon, Worcestershire, hot sauce, pepper and a pinch of salt to a large skillet over medium heat. Simmer gently, whisking until smooth. Add the Gruyere and turn off the heat. Carefully stir and let melt. Taste for seasoning and stir occasionally until melted and smooth.
- Bring 4 quarts water to a rolling boil in a large pot over medium heat. Add salt and bring the water back to a boil. Add the macaroni and stir with a wooden spoon to ensure the macaroni does not stick to the bottom of the pot. Cook until the macaroni is still quite firm, about 7 minutes. Drain and transfer to a glass bowl. Add the cheese sauce and stir to combine; keep warm.
- Carefully remove the lobster meat from the tails, claws and legs, taking care to remove any cartilage from the claw meat. Cut the meat into bite-size pieces, put in a medium bowl and then season with a pinch of salt. Discard the tail and body shells but keep the heads. Cut the heads in half.
- For the lobster sauce: Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add the shallots and cook until tender, about 4 minutes, then add the head halves and steam in the shallot butter, about 3 minutes. Carefully add the cognac and cook down until there is very little liquid left in the skillet, 2 to 3 minutes, then add the shrimp stock. Raise the heat to high and cook until reduced by about half, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the 1/2 cup heavy cream and the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Stir to combine and return to a simmer until the butter melts, then remove from heat. Add the lemon juice, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl and add the chopped tarragon. Add the lobster and gently toss to fully coat. Season to taste with salt.
- Fill serving bowls halfway with macaroni and cheese and top with the lobster and sauce. Repeat with another layer of macaroni and top with the remaining lobster and sauce. Finish with a pinch of salt.

Steps:
- Take the lobster and twist the claws off, then use a rolling pin to crack the claws and pick the meat out. Peel the tail, exposing and removing the fleshy meat. Roughly chop all of the meat, then cover and set aside in a bowl in the fridge. Bash all the pieces of shell with the rolling pin to break them up a bit.
- Heat the oil in large frying pan over a high heat, add the onion and a large pinch of salt and cook for around five minutes until softened and well coloured, then add the lobster shell and fry for a couple of minutes more. Add the cayenne pepper and tomato purée and stir to coat everything, the turn the heat down to medium and add the milk. Stir well, then remove from the heat when it is just coming to a simmer and set aside for 30 mins to infuse. Meanwhile, mix the garlic, olive oil and lemon zest together with some seasoning to make the breadcrumb topping, then set aside. Strain the milk mixture into a jug and discard the shell.
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Boil the macaroni in salted water until it has a slight bite (around two minutes less than on the packet instructions), drain and set aside. Melt the butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat until foaming, then add the wine and cook for 5 minutes until the wine has reduced by half, then whisk in the flour to make a sandy paste. Turn down the heat and pour the strained milk into the pan a little at a time, whisking constantly and allowing each addition of milk to be fully absorbed before adding any more.
- Add the chopped lobster meat, mustard, crab and cheese. Stir well until the cheese has melted, then season to taste. Tip in the macaroni and stir to coat everything in the sauce. Tip into an ovenproof baking dish (or six small ones) and top with a sprinkling of grated cheese and the garlic breadcrumbs. Bake for 20 mins until golden and bubbling, then allow to cool a little before serving.

FRIED LOBSTER MAC AND CHEESE
This combination of mac and cheese with lobster is a great idea. Then to fry it on top of that? Oh my - it's divine! The white cheddar and the Gruyere cheese pair well together. The Panko crumbs add a nice crunchiness, while the cayenne adds a touch of heat. This is one great tasting dish!

CHEF JOHN'S LOBSTER MAC AND CHEESE
You can actually prep these ahead and bake before that romantic, possibly Valentine's, dinner. You probably want to take them out and let them warm up for 30 minutes before baking. By the way, only bake these until the tops are browned and the inside is just hot.

Add cold milk to flour mixture; whisk until completely incorporated. Bring to a simmer; reduce heat to low, and stir in paprika, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thick, 3 to 4 minutes. Season sauce with salt.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the macaroni according to the package directions for al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk in 1/4 cup of the flour and cook until bubbling, about 1 minute. Whisk in the milk and 2 teaspoons salt and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce to medium heat and cook, whisking occasionally, until thickened and the flour taste is gone, about 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the Parmesan and mascarpone until melted and smooth. Fold in the macaroni, lobster and chopped tarragon.
- Put the Muenster and Gruyere in a large bowl. Add the macaroni mixture and fold until just combined. Spread the mixture evenly over a quarter baking sheet and freeze until just solid, about 1 hour.
- Set up a breading station with 3 shallow dishes: Mix 1 teaspoon salt and the remaining 1 cup flour in the first dish. Beat the eggs and 1 teaspoon salt in the second dish and add the breadcrumbs and 1 teaspoon salt to the third dish.
- Cut the chilled macaroni mixture into 1-inch squares with a paring knife. Coat each square in the flour, then dip in the egg, letting any excess drip off. Press into the breadcrumbs and transfer to a baking sheet. Freeze for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, fill a large, heavy-bottomed pot with 2 inches of oil and set over medium-high heat. Heat until a deep-frying thermometer registers 375 degrees F.
- Fry the breaded macaroni squares in batches until golden brown on the outside and hot in the middle, about 2 minutes. Bring the oil temperature back up between batches.
- After the last batch, bring the oil temperature back up again. Add the tarragon leaves, parsley and chives in 1/4-cup batches to the hot oil and fry until the water is released and the herbs are no longer bubbling, about 30 seconds. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.
- Put the lemon zest and remaining 8 tablespoons butter in a small saute pan and heat until melted and foamy.
- Drizzle the mac and cheese squares with the lemon butter and sprinkle with the fried herbs. Serve with lemon wedges.
