Photography by Chia Chong Styling by Libbie Summers
Simple and subdued at first glance –a fan of green at dirt level. Really nothing to make you turn your head, but, beneath a blanket of soil lies the showy colors of a spring radish. Reds, purples, pinks and whites –painted with the same brush used by a celebrity rabbit. This week on Salted and Styled, we celebrate the peppered beauty of a simple radish.
On Tuesday, Andrea Goto shares her loveless story for this vegetable. A vegetable that certain towns in Mexico celebrate a night around…sadly (and happily for us) Andrea does not feel the same need for celebration. On Wednesday, Amy Zurcher introduces us to artistic culinary royalty with the artwork of Linda Warner Constantino. For recipe Thursday, Libbie Summers shares a quick vegetarian lunch that even a carnivore will love with her Apple Tomatillo Soup with peppery radishes. On Friday, the colorful beauty of a radish is seen through the eyes and childhood memories of artist Katherine Sandoz.
Get ready for the weekend as stylist Brooke Atwood shows you how a simple pop of radish color in just the right place can make any night feel like Saturday night. As always, the thoughtful and colorful photography of Chia Chong is fertilizer that feeds the garden. Grab a spade and dig in this week as we explore the beauty and colorful inspiration found underground…the radish.
