The Cooking Event is live, and it’s your best chance to get amazing new pets, seeds, and even the game-breaking Grandmaster Sprinkler. This guide has everything you need to succeed: all the secret recipes, a full list of the new rewards, and the fastest farming methods.
How the Cooking Event Works in Grow a Garden
The goal is simple: cook high-quality meals that match the pig’s cravings to get the best prizes.
- Check the Craving: Every hour, the pig NPC, Chris P., will crave a specific food (e.g., Ice Cream, Pie, etc.). This is your target for that hour.
- Cook the Right Meal: Use the recipes below to cook the exact meal he wants.
- Pro-Tip – Size & Rarity Matter: This is the secret to getting the best rewards! Use the biggest and rarest ingredients you have. A salad made with huge, sprinkler-grown tomatoes will give you a much better reward than one made with small, basic ones.
- Feed Him & Get Loot: Give Chris P. the food he’s currently craving for your best shot at Prismatic-tier rewards.

The Fastest Farming Strategy (The “Soup” Method)
The absolute easiest and most efficient way to farm rewards is to focus on the cheapest recipe.
The recipe for Soup is just 1 Carrot. The best strategy is to mass-produce dozens of Soups in your inventory (since carrots are cheap and easy to get). Then, just wait for the hour when Chris P. craves Soup. When he does, turn in all your pre-cooked Soups at once for a massive amount of rewards with minimal effort.
