How to Obtain Gourmet Egg Pets in Grow a Garden
Wondering how to get your hands on those Gourmet eggs? It’s straightforward, but you’ll need a bit of patience. Here’s how to do it:
- Go to the center of the map where you’ll find the Chris P NPC and a cauldron next to him.
- Start whipping up dishes by submitting various plants to the cauldron, following cooking recipes. Check out our guide for cooking recipes to streamline this process.
- Prepare the dish that the Pig NPC desires at that moment. This increases your chances of earning rarer rewards.
- Feed the prepared dish to Chris, and you’ll receive a random item from his rewards catalogue.
This method is your only pathway to Gourmet eggs. Be patient; your first egg might take some time to appear since the reward system isn’t always guaranteed.
