A vented range hood is now a code requirement. An exception exists that
allows a non-vented hood if a source of natural or mechanical ventilation is
otherwise provided. While I'm dead-set against it, just venting into the
attic (not code) is far better than no vent al all. (Be aware that it will
lower your ceiling insulation R-value and you must have a sufficient amount
of roof ventilation. Actually, it's really not all that hard to run a metal
vent to a roof hood.) You could also consider installing a non-venting hood
and a wall vent fan.
Check Menard's or Lowe's for non-vented hoods.
