With the Kitchen Storm update, Chris P faces rivalry from the Rat Connoisseur, a discerning character craving only the most mutated delicacies. This guide will show you how to cook mutated food in Grow a Garden, serve it up to the Rat Connoisseur, and reap your rewards.
How to Get Rewards from the Rat Connoisseur NPC
Want to unlock rewards from the Rat Connoisseur? It’s simple! You just need to submit food items featuring mutations. Consult the latest Grow a Garden cooking recipes and decide what you wish to prepare. Once you’re ready, follow these easy steps:
- Approach the Rat Connoisseur and press the E key to interact.
- Hold the mutated food item and select the “Try this food I cooked up!” option.
- Upon submission, a rewards selection screen will appear displaying three potential rewards. Choose your favorite.
- The more mutations your fruit has, the rarer the reward you can receive.
How to Cook Mutated Food Items in Grow a Garden
Before claiming your rewards, you need to cook the mutated food items. To achieve this, simply place your harvested mutated fruits into the cooking pot. Then, monitor the mutation meter on the pot to check how much mutation is transferred to your dish.
If the meter shows over 80%, you’re guaranteed mutation carryover. Cooking during the Kitchen Storm event enhances your chances of creating mutated food items. More mutations in your fruits result in a final dish with even higher mutations.
To speed up your process of obtaining mutated food items, consider using the Gorilla Chef pet along with the Cooking Pot cosmetic item. This combo increases the chances of duplicating your food items.
Additionally, starting the Kitchen Storm event before cooking will boost not only your cooking speed and mutation carryover but also introduce the Aromatic mutation, enhancing your ability to cook mutated fruits.
