Culinary Domain

Even though there is not a god or goddess specifically for food, there are gods and goddesses who have domain over where food originates. Chauntea, the Daghdha, Brigantia, and Demeter have domain over agriculture where crops are grown and livestock are reared. While livestock can provide meat for some but others seek out food from more wild game. Those cooks who want wilder game may pray to the lords of the hunt such as Malar, Uller, or Artemis. Others still yet pray to the lords of the sea, Umberlee, Manannan mac Lir, Aegir, or Poseidon, for the bounty of seafood the oceans can give both in the form of sea animals and sea plants. For some chefs, it is not just the ingredients that drives them but also food's place in the economy of a nation or religion. These chefs may pray to Waukeen, Hermes, Lugh, or Tyche for good fortune and profits in their culinary endeavors. Whatever drives these clerics whether it be coin or the ingredients or both, they have the power of the gods behind their work.
