Saint Pasquale de Baylon (1540-1592) from Turin, Italy is the Saint Protector of all World Cooks since 1722. He was sanctified partly because of the energy and potency a recipe of his gave men in his parish and beyond, helping them conceive lots of children. That recipe was for Zabaione or Zabaglione or Sabayon, a simple egg yolk, sugar and sweet wine dessert. Some might even say he created the first "viagra" for men.
