Nigel Turner - "This dish brings me back to 2007 when my then girlfriend and I travelled to Riveria Mayo, Mexico on holidays. I had arranged a candlelit dinner on the beach. We ate lobster in champagne, enjoyed the views and then I popped the question! Thankfully she said ‘Yes’. Recently we celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary and now have 3 amazing children."
