Come into Hill's Kitchen

Say what you will about Syracuse's snow or sports' teams, but the Salt City knows how to dish up a meal. In fact, the options can prove overwhelming for your average SU epicure: hundreds of kids graduate every year without experiencing the wonders of Little Italy, Green Planet Grocery or Syracuse's three trillion storied diners.

But starting today, you have no excuse to miss out. The NewsHouse and its team of fanatic foodies are proud to launch Hill's Kitchen, a daily blog about cooking and dining in the 'Cuse. Expect daily recipes and dining hall menus, as well as restaurant reviews, cooking videos, Q&As with local chefs and obsessive food news coverage.

We'll kick it off every Sunday with a grocery list you can use to stock up for the week. Check out this week's list here and get ready for our first five days of yummy winter recipes. We're excited to dig in –- and we hope you are, too!
