How to Get the Cooking Kit
The old NPC Chris P is gone, but you can still cook using the Cooking Kit, a cosmetic item unlocked through achievements in the new Garden Guide.
Once placed in your plot, the Cooking Kit works just like the old cauldron โ simply toss in the required plants or fruits to create recipes.
๐ก First recipe you should cook: Corndog. It unlocks the Pet Pouch, giving you more pet slots so you donโt have to sell your favorite companions.
Tips for Cooking & Rewards
Although the old Chris P event is over, these tips still help you make the most of your cooking:
- Cook high-tier food only โ Transcendent, Prismatic, and Divine recipes give far better rewards.
- Use bigger crops โ Larger ingredients = larger dishes = higher rewards.
- Save extras for cravings โ Food can be stored and used later when cravings change.
- Divine Pie Trick โ Coconut + Beanstalk = Divine Pie (both are shop seeds). Stockpile them and cash in whenever Pie is in demand.
Final Thoughts
Cooking in Grow a Garden is more than just a side activity โ itโs a major way to unlock pets, gears, and big rewards. Whether youโre aiming for Transcendent Smoothies, Mythical Waffles, or Divine Pies, knowing the recipes is key.
