Comments: This recipe uses two different intensities of paprika sweet and hot to give the pork chops not only a beautiful color, but a pungent flavor as well. Paprika is made from ground aromatic sweet red pepper pods, and the Hungarian variety is considered superior to others. For this recipe, splurge on the more expensive Hungarian brand. It's worth the taste.

"When treasures are recipes they are less clearly, less distinctly remembered than when they are tangible objects. They evoke however quite as vivid a feeling-that is, to some of use who, considering cooking an art, feel that a way of cooking can produce something that approaches an aesthetic emotion. What more can one say? If one had the choice of again hearing Pachmann play the two Chopin sonatas or dining once more at the Cafe Anglais, which would one choose?"
