Cultivate a Garden - Comprehensive Cooking Event Manual

In the wake of the recent Corrupted Event, Grow a Garden has launched an exciting update focused on cooking. Players can now engage in a brief cooking adventure featuring a trading system that offers appetizing quests with enticing rewards.

Participants can whip up different meals and trade them for rewards of varying rarity, including the exclusive Gourmet Egg and Gourmet Seed Pack. The event will take place over a week, running from August 2 to August 9. Here’s a breakdown of what the Cooking event entails and tips to maximize your experience in Grow a Garden.

Chris P.’s Cooking Quest

This time around, a new NPC, Chris P., a culinary critter, has been introduced to the event area. He requests food every hour, making it your responsibility to prepare something delightful for him.

To start your cooking journey, go to the Cooking Station located near Chris P.’s stand. Gather your ingredients, add them to the pot, and press «Cook.» A total of 12 recipes are available. Using basic fruits (which are of low rarity) generally rewards you with common items, while rarer ingredients could lead to top-tier rewards.
