Our Covers

Our July / August 2023 front cover is all about food. Specifically artichokes. To celebrate our Food Issue, Creative Director Justin Negard drew upon one of the most beautiful and yet strangest vegetables one can find. The patterns and forms of artichokes are instantly recognizable and provide a perfectly fun visual to introduce our readers to the delicious pages ahead.

The back cover art is particularly special for this issue. Katonah resident and legendary artist Ed Giobbi generously graced our magazine with his beautiful bronze studio door. Giobbi created this door in the 1960s as a tribute to a friend’s son who passed away in a car accident. The door eventually found its way back to Giobbi along with a second version which sits in a museum in New Haven, Connecticut. It was a true honor to include much of Giobbi’s work and words in this issue, including a special feature of him as this issue’s artist profile.

Helping Teens Develop a Healthy Relationship with Food

Writing by Aerin Atinsky Artwork by Justin Negard If you are a teen, live with a teen or work with teens, you’ve probably suspected that eating disorders have significantly increased since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cracking the Cooking Code

Writing by Oliver Berke Artwork by Erin Nazzaro It’s a kitchen nightmare that has haunted all of us. A canvas of sauces and spices blanketing the floor tiles, smoke billowing out from a crazed assortment of pots and pans on the stovetop, and the fire alarm ringing through your ears. Your hands streak across the cookbook’s pages, eyes scanning each ...

Growing a Kingdom

Writing by Ava Fleisher Photography by Annalia Pantaleon It was the middle of nowhere in rural Massachusetts.

Stewart, who had just finished gutting ...

And then I read [poet John] Keats: "Beauty is truth, truth beauty," – that is all Ye know on earth, and ...

Writing by Gia Miller In our debut issue, we featured actress Colby Kipnes. She’s been the voice of two Nickelodeon characters (Riley in “Nella the Princess Knight” and Oona in “Bubble Guppies”) and acted in local and regional theater.
