"The first thing you want to do," he advises, "you always get fresh lobster." Having a fresh foundation will go a long way in delivering the best finished product.

Geoffrey likes to boil his lobster in a bouillon, an aromatic mixture of herbs, lemons and cayenne, but he notes, "You don't need to." Instead, however, he says, "You can just use water."
