I was shooting a wedding a couple weeks ago and along with the accompaniments for the salad station was a bowl of what looked like red seedless grapes that lost its luster.

I get a email from the Cooking Section from the New York Times almost every day. Someday’s it catches my eye and other days it just gets deleted. They cover the gambit on food ethnicities, styles, courses, etc.. Some days I may print out three for four recipes and other days it is merely inspiration. But the day, I read this pulled pork recipe I knew I had to try it. If you like Asian flavors you will LOVE this recipe. While a few of the the ingredients may not already be in your pantry they are easy to find…
