Grow a Garden, a popular Roblox game, got a big Cooking Event update on August 2, 2025, as part of the Trading and Cooking Update. This update lets you cook food using fruits and crops from your garden to feed a pig NPC named Chris P. Bacon for awesome rewards like Gourmet Seed Packs, Gourmet Eggs, and exclusive items. This guide lists all known cooking recipes, how to make them, and tips to get the best rewards.
How Cooking Works in Grow a Garden
- Cooking Pot: Find the big cooking pot in the center of the game’s lobby. It’s boiling with water and has a chalkboard nearby showing recipes and cooking times.
- Add Ingredients: Hold one crop at a time (from your inventory or hotbar) and press the E key near the pot to add it. The chalkboard shows what you’ve added and the cooking time.
- Cook: Once you add the right ingredients, press the green Cook button under the pot. Cooking takes a few minutes (e.g., 5 minutes 48 seconds for ice cream). You can wait or pay 95–200 Robux to skip the timer.
- Collect Food: When the timer finishes, press E near the pot to grab your dish.
- Feed Chris P. Bacon: Give the food to Chris P., the pig NPC near the pot. Check his speech bubble (updates hourly) to see what he’s craving (e.g., “Pizza would be nice”). Matching his craving gives better rewards.
- Empty Pot: If you add the wrong ingredients, press the red Empty button to clear the pot without losing crops.

Tips for Cooking Success
- Farm Crops: Keep garden slots for common crops like Corn, Tomato, and Blueberry. Store rare crops (Bananas, Bamboo) in your vault for complex recipes like Sushi or Pizza.
- Check the Chalkboard: It shows ingredients and cooking time. The pot’s color (e.g., yellow for Ice Cream) hints if you’re using the right combo.
- Trade for Ingredients: Use the new trading system (needs a Trading Ticket, 100,000 Sheckles) to get rare crops like Bananas or Bamboo from other players.
- Save Robux: Wait out cooking timers instead of paying to skip, as costs (95–200 Robux) add up.
- Experiment: If a recipe fails, try again or swap in event fruits like Bone Blossom for better results. Randomness is part of the game.
- Check Cravings: Feed Chris P. his desired food for better rewards. If he’s not craving your dish, you might get nothing.
- Daily Farming: Check garden zones daily for rare fruit spawns to stock up on ingredients.
