Grow a Garden Kitchen Storm Update

Overview of Grow a Garden Kitchen Storm Update

The next phase of the culinary fun in Grow a Garden has been officially announced as the Kitchen Storm event, a direct expansion of the ongoing Cooking Event. Scheduled to run from Saturday, August 9th, to Saturday, August 16th, this update from version 1.17.0 aims to introduce a more challenging experience with the promise of "higher stakes and more rewards.", and the core cooking system, including Mr. Pig and ingredients, will remain in the game. The developer also confirmed that this is an update to enhance the gaming experience.

A New Cooking Challenge: The Risk of Failure

A significant change in this update is the introduction of a success and failure mechanic in cooking. According to leaks, preparing a recipe incorrectly could result in "disgusting slop soup with green stink particles." An NPC named Krispy (or Chris P.) will judge your culinary creations, with reactions varying from disappointment to being thoroughly impressed by your "divine culinary masterpiece." It is strongly suggested that the quality of your rewards will directly correspond to how well you perform in the kitchen.

What's New: Seeds, Pets, Items and Features

The event officially confirms that players will be able to unlock brand new seeds, pets, and items. A new "admin weather" feature has also been announced. Leaks further suggest that several unused food models may finally be introduced, including a speckled waffle, a full pink cake, and a rice ball with sprinkles. There is also speculation that new limited-time eggs will become available, similar to past event expansions.

Based on the pricing of previous seeds like the Elder Strawberry, it is predicted the new seed will have a base price between 90,000 and 100,000 shekels, and maybe it will be more valuable than the Candy Blossom.

Community Hopes and Potential Gameplay Enhancements

Following the initial Cooking Event, the player community has expressed a strong desire for several quality-of-life improvements. While not confirmed, there is hope that the developers will introduce features such as:

A Recipe Book located on the map to eliminate guesswork for recipes.
More prismatic recipes that do not require the rare Bone Blossom, making top-tier rewards more accessible.
The addition of a Crafting Table as an alternative way to craft event items like eggs and seed packs.
A Pet Loadouts system to allow players to save and quickly switch between their favorite pet teams.
