The next big event in Grow a Garden is almost here, and it’s bringing the heat straight to the kitchen! The Kitchen Storm event is set to launch this weekend, acting as a major expansion to the existing Cooking Event and promising new challenges, rewards, and gameplay twists.
If you’ve enjoyed whipping up recipes for the Pig Chef in the last update, get ready—things are about to get a whole lot more exciting.
1. What is the Kitchen Storm Event?
The Kitchen Storm is essentially Cooking Event 2.0—an upgraded, high-stakes version of the original cooking challenge. You’ll still be gathering ingredients, crafting recipes, and delivering them for rewards, but this time the event will feature:
- New seeds to plant and grow.
- Additional pets to collect.
- Expanded recipe options—including prismatic recipes that hopefully won’t require the hard-to-get Bone Blossom in every case.
- Admin weather features, which may affect gameplay in fun or challenging ways.
2. Recap of the Original Cooking Event
In the current cooking event, players:
- Collect fruits and special ingredients.
- Combine them into recipes.
- Deliver those recipes to the Pig NPC for various rewards, ranging from coins and seeds to rare items.
While the event has been popular, some players found it frustrating that many of the best prismatic recipes required the rare Bone Blossom—locking some players out of top-tier rewards.
3. What’s Changing in Kitchen Storm?
The new expansion aims to address these limitations:
- More recipes: Expect a broader variety that uses different ingredients, making it easier for players without Bone Blossom to participate.
- Better ingredient variety: Likely to include recipes for existing fruits as well as new ones introduced in this update.
- Increased rewards: More unique seeds, new pets, and potentially event-exclusive prizes.
- Dynamic challenges: The “high stakes” description hints at time limits, harder recipes, or weather-based gameplay modifiers that could change your cooking strategy.
4. New Seeds & Pets
While the specific seed types haven’t been revealed, we do know:
- New seeds are confirmed to be part of the update.
- They may be unlocked directly through the cooking event or available in the Seed Shop.
- Event-exclusive pets are expected—likely themed around the kitchen or storm concept.
5. Strategy for the Event
To get the most out of Kitchen Storm when it launches:
- Stockpile ingredients now, especially versatile fruits used in multiple recipes.
- Save your Bone Blossoms in case they’re still required for some high-tier dishes.
- Keep extra coins ready in case new seeds are shop-only.
- Be prepared to adapt—admin-controlled weather effects may change which recipes are easiest or most profitable at any given time.
6. Event Details & How to Join
- Start Date: This weekend (exact time to be announced).
- Where: Access via the current Cooking Event area in-game.
- How to Participate: Sign up through the in-game event menu or join once it goes live—no extra cost to enter.
The Kitchen Storm update is shaping up to be a major highlight for Grow a Garden players, especially those who enjoyed the first cooking event but wanted more recipe diversity and rewards. Whether you’re aiming for new seeds, rare pets, or just want to test your skills against weather-based kitchen chaos, this event will have something for everyone.
