Review:
While Mrs. Hudson is out of the house, Holmes decides to try his hand at cooking. Much to Watson's dismay, he gets roped into the disaster in the making.

This is, simply put, one of the funniest things I've ever read. From Holmes carefully applying the scientific method to the optimal cooking time for peas, to the unfortunate necessity of disemboweling the chicken, to Watson's increasingly desperate suggestions for alternate dining choices, every bit of this story is hilarious. Best of all, the writing style is spot-on; Wynde does a fantastic job of mimicking Doyle's dry, wordy prose. The end result is a story that could have come right out of the Strand and yet is guaranteed to make you laugh out loud at least once. Sheer brilliance.
