Upstate New York Food and Recipes

I love recreating iconic regional dishes and restaurant recipes from businesses that are no longer with us. Each recipe is a slice of history, capturing the flavors and traditions that are the heart and soul of Upstate New York.

From the bustling streets of Syracuse to the serene landscapes of the Finger Lakes, Upstate New York is made up of diverse cultures and histories – each contributing its unique ingredients to our rich culinary heritage. Whether it’s Rochester’s famous Garbage Plate, the perfect Buffalo Wing sauce, or the secrets behind Syracuse’s legendary Salt Potatoes, these are posts are more than just recipes; they’re stories on a plate.

As you explore this page, you’ll find a variety of recipes that showcase the best of our region’s flavors. These dishes range from hearty family dinners to charming desserts, each carefully crafted to bring a piece of Upstate New York into your kitchen. They are tried and true, passed down through generations, carefully curated by me, and now shared with you.
