Cooking Event Guide 2025
The Grow a Garden Cooking Event runs for two weeks with rotating cravings, reward milestones, and rare Prismatic recipes. Players manage ingredient prep, deliver dishes to Chris P Bacon, and climb the scoring ladder for Taco Fern, Pancake Stack, and Mochi Mouse drops. This Garde 9 staple rewards squads who plan routes and share craving intel.
Key Highlights
Event Timeline
August 2 – August 4
Launch Weekend Kickoff
Unlock the cooking pot, learn every discovered recipe, and bank crave-ready dishes before lobbies spike.
- Identify the first craving rotation and prepare matching Rares, Legendaries, and Prismatic upgrades.
- Deliver at least one dish per rarity to activate Connoisseur Food Reviews for bonus score.
- Run duos so one player monitors cravings while another cooks nonstop.
August 5 – August 11
Mid-Event Rush
Daily boosts arrive, letting Garde 9 teams push deep into the leaderboard if they maintain efficient loops.
- Cook during boost windows so the pot never idles and timers overlap.
- Farm Sugarglaze and Bone Blossom to guarantee Prismatic upgrades when cravings align.
- Use Connoisseur Food Reviews to chain bonus scores ahead of weekend competition.
August 12 – August 16
Final Sprint
Drop final Prismatic dishes, secure milestone rewards, and ensure the lobby claims every cosmetics bundle.
- Rotate squads to cover 24/7 cravings during the last weekend.
- Prioritize dishes that upgrade cleanly—pizza, cake, smoothie—so no ingredients go to waste.
- Schedule the final push roughly six hours before shutdown to catch the last craving reset.
Core Objectives
- Keep Chris P’s craving board on cooldown by handing in the requested dish before the timer expires.
- Maintain a cooking rhythm where at least two pots run constantly during peak hours.
- Track leaderboard thresholds and alert your Garde 9 team when you need additional high-rarity deliveries.
Reward Highlights
- Taco Fern remains the rarest drop at roughly 3%, so stack Prismatic submissions during boosts.
- Pancake Stack and Mochi Mouse appear more frequently once you reach Legendary and Divine reward tiers.
- Daily milestone payouts include Sheckles, Mutation Sprays, and recipe scrolls that persist after the Grow a Garden event.
Prep Checklist
- Harvest Bone Blossom, Sugarglaze, and premium tomatoes in bulk before you queue the cooking pot.
- Run ingredient routes between cook cycles so no timer ever finishes without another dish ready.
- Coordinate with other Garde 9 chefs to swap cravings intel and avoid duplicate hand-ins.
