The latest Kitchen Storm update for Grow a Garden has arrived, bringing a big cooking expansion, brand-new plants, adorable pets, and more rewards to collect. Whether you’re here for farming, pet collecting, or cooking mutated dishes for the new rat connoisseur, this patch has plenty to keep you busy.
What’s Coming in the Kitchen Storm Update
The headline feature is the Cooking Expansion, where a food connoisseur rat now visits your garden to review your mutated dishes. Every time you submit a dish, you’ll get to choose 1 of 3 rewards. Alongside this, there’s a Recipe Book to track every dish you’ve made, plus the ingredients needed to create them.
The Kitchen Storm mechanic is a special storm that grants the new Aromic mutation. By submitting food, the storm can be leveled up four times, with each stage boosting cooking speed even further. The community can work together to reach minimum cooking speeds for faster dish preparation.
Other cooking quality-of-life changes make higher-tier dishes easier to craft, and there are more than 15 possible new rewards to discover.
