How Grow a Garden Cooking Recipes Work in the Chris P. Bacon Event
Before diving into the recipes, here’s what you need to know about the cooking system:
- Hourly Cravings: Chris P. Bacon changes his food craving every hour. Fulfilling the exact dish increases your reward quality.
- Ingredient Impact: Using rarer crops like Bone Blossoms or Sugar Apples can upgrade your dish to Divine or Prismatic, boosting reward chances.
- Off-Craving Cooking: You can still hand over any meal, but rewards are typically lower if it’s not the requested dish.
- Cooking Times and Pot Colors: Meals take 5–10 minutes depending on size. Pot colors help confirm recipes:
- Red = Burger, Salad
- Yellow = Ice Cream
- Green = Pie
- Turquoise = Sushi
- Tan = Hotdog
- Teal/Lemon = Cake
