On newsstands November 14, the inaugural edition, published by the Canadian office of interactive media company idoodlemedia, will be a special holiday issue that includes a travel story on Nova Scotia, autumn recipes and ideas on how to build a better burger.

The North American version of Jamie Magazine is the latest expansion for Oliver’s growing publishing empire.

Since its launch in 2008, the magazine also added local editions in Russia, Germany and Holland.

Meanwhile, in other food publishing news, American domestic doyenne Martha Stewart’s media empire announced recently that it would stop publishing monthly magazine Everyday Food as a standalone publication. Instead, it will be merged with flagship magazine Martha Stewart Living.

Other food celebrity-helmed magazines include Every Day with Rachael Ray and Cooking with Paula Deen.

Jamie Magazine will publish 10 issues a year in North America. Introductory subscription offers are $33 for eight issues.
