Something for Mother's Day?

You may think with downcast face that Valentine's day is over and so, too, is the one good excuse for indulging yourself at the chocolate counter. But you would be wrong to be so prematurely guilt-ridden when this weekend saw the start of the annual Festival of Chocolate in Turin.
'A Festival of Chocolate,' you say, 'surely not?'
'Yes, yes', I say, but you will have to hotfoot it down to Piazza Vittorio Veneto to indulge in what they're calling a 'joyous immersion' in all things chocolate. The chock-fest continues until 22 March so there's still plenty of time to book in for one of those chocolate laboratories!
As for Top-of-the-Chocks (oh dear!), I reckon La Maison du Chocolat must be up there with the great and the good. Any other recommendations out there? Remember, Mother's Day...
