Blurb: 
After the main course of Genocidal Healer came the pineapple chunks of Galactic Gourmet. Gurransevas, Tralthan FGLI master chef, takes on "the greatest challenge of his professional life: making hospital food palatable" (blurb). He starts by throwing his mighty Tralthan weight about, but hubris is finally clobbered by nemesis -- in the best possible taste, of course. White"s ability to avoid the black-and-white characterization that marked, or marred, most "traditional" sf pulp writing is well showcased here. As Harry Harrison once said (possibly at the bar of Dublin"s old-time Parliament Inn): "You could always tell who the hero was by his white space helmet." A white chef"s hat doesn"t really count, or does it? Synopsis by graham Andrews
