St. Lawrence is the patron saint of cooks. There are paton saints for almost everything, including the internet (Isidore of Seville) and coffeeshops (Drogo).
What is interesting about Lawrence is the reason why he is the patron saint of cooks. He was a martyr, who (as legend has it) was put to death on a charcoal grill by the Roman Emperor Valerian. After having endured the grill for a period of time, he (according to legend)told the executioner, "Better turn me over, I'm done on this side".
