The Perfect Chocolate Bar. Bet the title got your attention, eh? It got mine too! ;-) I didn't get a chance to play with chocolate at Easter (unlike last year's Choc-A-Fest), but I sure am making up for it now!

When they returned from their long, arduous voyages, the sailors had had their fill of fish and spicy food. What they wanted instead was fare that spoke of their homeland, made from vegetables fresh from the gardens and farms that cling to the Ligurian hillsides.

Ligurians almost make a religion of their devotion to pesto sauce and its main ingredient, fresh basil.
