Chef to Royalty & Rock Stars, Grant MacPherson Debuts Viva La Lobster: 53 Recipes That Turn the King of Crustaceans Into the Star of S'mores, Frozen Pops & Succotash

LAS VEGAS, May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Legendary chef Grant MacPherson, who once oversaw the preparation of 500 lobsters a day at Las Vegas' famed Bellagio and has cooked for everyone from Princess Diana to presidents, officially debuts his fourth cookbook: Viva La Lobster, just in time for summer entertaining, Father's Day, and National Lobster Day.

"Lobster has a sweet, succulent flavor that deserves a bigger place on the plate," says MacPherson. "In Viva La Lobster, I show how one pristine ingredient can brighten a Tuscan minestrone, anchor a Singaporean curry, or elevate humble baked beans into something extraordinary."

From launching the iconic Lobster Room at Bellagio Las Vegas to leading lobster service at world-class resorts like Wynn Las Vegas and Wynn Macau, Viva La Lobster salutes MacPherson's decades of lobster mastery.
