custom covers for existing recipes

I use Calibre News to download The Philadelphia Inquirer for my Kindle Voyage.

Is there a way to modify the recipe to use a thumbnail/cover/front image other than the default? I would like my grid view and home screen to show something like the NYT recipe.

Thanks.

Thanks! Btw, Calibre makes my day. I spend hours at a time playing librarian. I am a former bookseller with a major retail brick and mortar chain. It was my most fufilling ocupation and Calibre fills the void from the days of sorting, displaying, and making available good literature.
