This isn't exactly a prayer, more like words to live by:
"The Cook orders, regulates and is obeyed in his Kitchen; he should have
a chair between the buffet and the fireplace to sit on and rest if
necessary; the chair should be so placed that he can see and survey
everything that is being done in the Kitchen; he should have in his hand
a large wooden spoon which has a double function:  one, to test pottages
and brouets, and the other, to chase the children out of the Kitchen to
make them work, striking them if necessary."
