The Salted and Styled family of women… By day we walk the earth as photographers, stylists, writers and artists. By night we are dreamers and eaters. Sunlight or moonlight, we are always creating. It is in the colors, textures and tastes of food that we often find our inspiration. This week this family of women is inspired by salt. Today, through her lens, photographer Chia Chong shares the thoughtful beauty and hint of whimsy in her photographs from the salt flats of Thailand. Libbie Summers shares two recipes this week. On Tuesday, the stunning beauty of a Smoked Salt-Crusted Beet. And on Thursday, a recipe made with a salty grin –Proscuitto Pretzel Knots. On Wednesday, a simple Southern conversation on the manners of salt sharing inspires the artwork of Katherine Sandoz. And on Friday, Amy Zurcher shares the beauty of a salt inspired piece of energy filled artwork. Join us each day this week as salt seasons our lives…both day and night.

A Life Inspired by Corn and Love
BACKSTORY: Geoffrey doesn’t like anyone to know the actual spelling of his name, and prefers the less bourgeois “Jeff” (his pedigree determined years ago in a wealthy Chicago suburb). Jeff’s great grandfather, grandfather and father all held seats on the Chicago Board of Exchange and were not pleased when he decided to apply to Agriculture School at The University of Illinois (a state school). Jillian (Jeff’s young wife) studied art at a lesser known art school in the Mid-West where she met Jeff at a summer party in Saugatuck, MI. When everyone else was wearing notable designers, Jillian arrived at the party wearing a simple white cotton sheath with a small noticeable tear at the hem.
