Our Favourite Covers

1. Early Summer 2001 Editor Jody Dunn says, “This isn’t our first cupcake cover star, but it’s definitely one that stands out in my mind as the most scrumptious looking. Maybe it’s that extra drip of icing on the side, but I just want to reach in and take a bite.” 2. Autumn 2007 Publication Coordinator Leslie Bolter shares, “Our Autumn covers are always beautiful, filled with the rich harvest colours that make this time of year a favourite, but this gorgeous cover is near and dear to my heart because it’s the first issue that was released after I joined the team.” 3. Early Summer 2016 Publication Assistant Piper MacFadyen says, “This cover conjures those first long nights of the season in the backyard with the fam, and the colourful lobster sand wich screams easy-breezy summer supper. Plus, potato chips on the side? Yes please!”

4. Summer 2003 Publisher Wayne Leek declares, “I’m going way back to 2003’s Summer cover. The luscious scoop of ice cream and brilliant red strawberry in that icy silver bowl brings me right into the fresh fla vours of the season. I love how the image captures an iconic summer dessert moment.” Cicchini’s choice: “As a designer, this is visually my favourite cover. Our photographer had been given the green light to try some thing completely new with a really tight close-up that gets right into this fizzy drink. Using stop-motion, we were able to capture the lively carbonation of the cocktail and really bring summer sipping alive for our readers.” 5. Summer 2019 Creative Director Cathy
