In the latest Grow A Garden Update, the developers have added a new feature called Cooking to the base game that allows users to mix various ingredients and get food items, which can then be fed to the NPC to get some cool rewards. So, if you are wondering how the entire Cooking Event Update works in Grow A Garden, here is a detailed guide to it.
How to start the Cooking Event in Grow A Garden
Like every other update that came before in Grow A Garden, the Cooking Event starts every 1 hour in the game. When active, you have to go to the center of the map, where you can find an NPC called Chris P or the Chris Pig.

After meeting him, you can find some other food items that will appear on top of his head as a desire. All you have to do is feed him the food he desires to get tremendous rewards. You can cook the food items he desires using the cooking pot adjacent to his location. For the correct recipes, follow the given table, which lists all the ingredients for cooking food.
