This is quite good. I'm not fond of baked chops so I grilled them and added the wine and herbs to the sauteed apple mixture. The apple/celery/wine mixture would make a great side anytime, not just over pork chops. I wondered what kind of recipes were in the book, Hester. Thanks for sharing this one.

I remember hearing "If you can read, you can cook", and truer words were never spoken. At present, I am completely dependent on the written recipe. I am partial to french and indian cooking; I love the complexity and blend of ingredients. I recently rented The French Chef with Julia Child of which I was very impressed. She was an absolutely fantastic person and I am truly saddened only to discover her after her death.
