- Turn in cooked food to Chris P to fill the event meter and start Kitchen Storm in Grow a Garden.

The Kitchen Storm event is the main highlight of the Cooking Expansion update in Grow a Garden. Unlike the various admin and weather events, the Kitchen Storm event is tied directly to the cooking quests. Triggering this event is essential to not only improve your cooking efficiency but also receive the Aromatic mutation. In this guide, you will learn how to start the Kitchen Storm event in Grow a Garden and the benefits it offers.
How to Start Kitchen Storm in Grow a Garden
Starting the Kitchen Storm event is pretty simple. Although it does not occur at random intervals like Rain or Windy weather events in Grow a Garden, you can trigger the event at your will. Here is how you can start the Kitchen Storm event easily:
- Cook items in the cooking pot and attempt to create higher-rarity food items. Use our cooking recipes list for Grow a Garden, and go for the Transcendent or Prismatic recipes.
- Once you have the food items, hold them in your hand, go to Chris P, and select the “Try this food I cooked up!”
- You will see the bar above his head fill up. Once the meter hits 40 points, the Kitchen Storm event will start. Remember, higher rarity means more points.
- Players can continue giving Chris P more food items to upgrade the Storm Level. Each level increases the cooking speed and boosts the other perks.
Kitchen Storm Points Requirement
Now that you know how to start the Kitche Storm event, here is the number of points you get for each tier of food items:
- Common: 2 Points
- Uncommon: 3 Points
- Rare: 4 Points
- Legendary: 5 Points
- Mythical: 6 Points
- Divine: 7 Points
- Prismatic: 8 Points
- Transcendent: 9 Points
Benefits of the Kitchen Storm Event in Grow a Garden
If you are wondering whether you should start the Kitchen Storm event, the answer is simple – yes. The Kitchen Storm event is the adrenaline boost for the cooking update. Anyone in the lobby can trigger the event, and the effects apply to all the players. To trigger it, feed items to Chris P, which is already part of the cooking quests.
Whenever you have a food item, use it to start the event. The Kitchen Storm event doubles your cooking speed and increases the mutation chances of the food you make. I suggest you use the non-mutated food items, as the Rat Connoisseur asks for the mutated ones only.
You will earn rewards from Chris P for turning in food already. It means you are getting rewards while also progressing the Kitchen Storm event point bar. So, it’s a win-win situation. But there’s more. Once the event starts, you also get the Aromatic mutation on crops, which sells for a good price.
Overall, if you want to cook mutated food to serve the Rat Connoisseur for Food Review quests, cooking during Kitchen Storm greatly improves your success rate.
