Pratt a Manger, by David Nobbs

Fourth in the series: Henry is still running his restaurant, but in this book becomes a celebrity chef: after becoming a regular panellist on "A Question of Salt", he writes books, endorses various products, and generally prospers. But someone appears to be out to get him.

I had bought this book when it came out, and hadn't read it for over a year, partly to save it and partly because I was worried it would be a bit of a let-down like The Legacy of Reginald Perrin. But in fact it turned out to be very good: a worthy addition to the Pratt canon.

I broke off from writing this review in February to get my dissertation finished. It's now July.... I'll flesh out this review when next I read the book.
