Pork Chops Baked with Wild Mushrooms and Creme Fraiche

"This is quite simply the best recipe I've ever done for pork chops. Years ago I had to make do with just cultivated mushrooms and double cream, which always tended to separate in the cooking. Now, with the addition of porcini mushrooms and that heavenly ingredient crème fraîche, the recipe is even more wonderful...."
