A group of University of Michigan students is taking a bite out of the local food scene with the launch of new "blogazine" Wolverine CuiZine. Seeing a need for a student-led food-oriented publication, Wolverine CuiZine seeks to inform and discuss local food, cooking, consumption and more.

Since launching in September, the blog has covered such topics as restaurant reviews, visits to the Ann Arbor Farmers Market, cooking tips for the college student, ideas for healthy living, advice on what to look for in a good kitchen knife, a rundown of who does what in the restaurant biz, how to live lactose-free, and alternatives to Halloween candy.

In addition to stories, the Wolverine CuiZine web site offers a recipes blog and a map linking to food places they've covered online.

Plus, the Wolverine CuiZine crew get together periodically for potlucks and to recruit staff members. Check out these photos from their potluck last month:
