[a thread]
[[ i dont know why i did this ]]

Paul Hollywood -- Zeus

Stoic, performative masculinity, has affairs.

Mary Berry -- Athena

Wise, traditional, steely. Likes a good book, will slay thousands in battle.

Gordon Ramsey -- Hades

Ruler of the underworld. Feared by all. Judge, jury, and executioner.

Nigella Lawson -- Aphrodite

Sensual, compassionate, indulgent. The goddess of love.

Marco Pierre White -- Ares

The god of war. Very angry, quick to temper, always grumpy.

The Hairy Bikers -- Poseidon

Rugged, salty, windswept. Tbh, this one is mainly because of the beards and imagining them with tridents.

Nadiya Hussain -- Hestia

Goddess of the home and family. Wholesome, warm, bright, kind.

Keith Floyd -- Dionysus

Decadent, rowdy, perpetually drunk. Great at parties.

Delia Smith -- Artemis

Protective, no-nonsense, practical. Has been known to go a bit overboard.

Heston Blumenthal -- Hephaestus

The craftsman, the inventor, the alchemist.

Jamie Oliver -- Hermes

Cheeky, boyish. Famous for being very quick.

Fanny Cradock -- Hera

Mother of the gods. Everyone is terrified of her. Do not make the mistake of crossing her.

Ainsley Harriott -- Apollo

He's sunny, energetic, enjoys singing and dancing. Very popular.

Nigel Slater -- Demeter

As rich and homely as a bountiful harvest. Earthy, kind, and reliable.

Jack Monroe -- Pan

Mischievous, fun, punky.

righty, I'd like some of these god-cooks to acknowledge this now:
