Tasty Treats from Cologne -- COOL Style

Großansicht des Bildes mit der Bildunterschrift: Do they taste as good as they look?

What's tempting the tongue from this year's Cologne Confectionery Trade Fair...

COOL made the difficult trek to Cologne just so our listeners could hear what is big in the world of sugar and spice. We also made the sacrifice of trying some of the sweets in-studio for an on-air taste test. Whether it's lucky marzipan pigs or organic dark chocolate, it's in Cologne and on COOL.
Interview with Maja Graham

The irony of that last part — and of the title of Hauser’s book-in-progress, “Evilicious: Why We Evolved a Taste for Being Bad” — wasn’t lost on some observers.
