Make life a little less ordinary with these simple but luxurious finger sandwiches. If the cost of lobster is too much when combined with the flowers you've organised for your love, just substitute it with prawns; it will be just as delicious.

Ingredients

1/2 cup whole-egg mayonnaise
zest and juice of half a lemon
2 tsp fresh dill, chopped
1/4 bunch fresh chives, chopped
sea salt and freshly ground pepper
350g cooked lobster-tail meat
6 slices very fresh white bread
butter, softened

Method

Place mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest, herbs and seasoning in a bowl. Mix well and check seasoning. Cut up lobster meat and mix in with dressing.
Butter one side of each piece of white bread. Place equal amounts of the mixture on three pieces of bread. Top with second slice and press edges together. Trim crusts, then cut each sandwich in half. Serve immediately.
Serve with Neil Perry's peach bellini cocktails.
