Pairing: Sherlock/John

Warnings: None
Verse: Sherlock BBC

Author's summary: John Watson had no intentions of taking over the family business, but when he returns from Afghanistan, battered and bruised, and discovers that his sister Harry has run their restaurant into the ground, he doesn't have much choice. There's only one thing that can save the Empire from closing for good – the celebrity star of the BBC series Restaurant Reconstructed, Chef Sherlock Holmes.

Reccer's comments: In the author's own words: the one where Sherlock Holmes is Gordon Ramsay. This epic restaurant AU is delightful in so many ways. Almost everyone from the show is here, but don't worry that they'll be unrecognizable as themselves. Everyone is perfectly in character. Sherlock may be a chef and restaurant owner in this 'verse, but he's still a detective at heart, still a master of observation and deduction.... and of course, still his abrasive self. John is still an invalided army doctor, only saddled here with a failing restaurant that has been in his family for generations. And the two of them still have an inexplicable connection almost from the moment they meet.

You have angst, humour and fluff in almost equal amounts in this story. Plus you have the added bonus of delicious recipes included with almost every chapter! What more could you ask for?
