The Grow A Garden cooking system is one of the most complex and rewarding features in the game, offering players the opportunity to earn massive event points through strategic ingredient combinations. This comprehensive guide covers all known recipes, tier classifications, and optimization strategies to help you maximize your cooking event performance.
Understanding the cooking mechanics is crucial for success. Each recipe belongs to a specific tier that determines its base point value, cooking time requirements, and ingredient complexity. Higher-tier recipes require rare ingredients but provide exponentially more points, making them essential for competitive play and event leaderboards.
Our database includes over 70 verified recipes across 10 different dish categories, with detailed ingredient lists and strategic recommendations. Whether you're aiming for consistent point generation with common recipes or pushing for maximum scores with prismatic-tier dishes, this guide provides the information you need to succeed.

Recipe tiers in Grow A Garden follow a exponential point scaling system. Common recipes provide baseline points suitable for beginners, while Prismatic recipes can yield 50-100 times more points but require extremely rare ingredients. Understanding this scaling is crucial for developing effective cooking strategies.

Easy ingredients, short cook times, reliable for consistent progress
Base points: 800-1,500
Moderate ingredients, good point-to-effort ratio

Ultimate recipes, requires rare ingredients
Successful cooking requires strategic ingredient farming weeks before events begin. Rare ingredients like Bone Blossoms, Sugarglaze, and Violet Corn have extremely low drop rates and cannot be reliably obtained during short event windows. Plan your garden layout and farming schedule around upcoming cooking events.
Bone Blossoms, Sugarglaze, Violet Corn typically appear only in Divine or Prismatic tiers. These ingredients have drop rates below 1% and require dedicated farming strategies.
Tip: Use garden boosters and optimal planting patterns to maximize rare ingredient chances.
Sugar Apple, Ember Lily, Mint, Beanstalk act as powerful recipe modifiers that can upgrade common recipes to higher tiers.
Tip: Experiment with modifier combinations to discover new recipe variants.
Some dishes like Donut and Sandwich have multiple Legendary/Mythical variants with different ingredient requirements and point values.
Tip: Learn all variants to optimize ingredient usage based on your current inventory.
Higher weight ingredients mean longer cook times but significantly more points! Calculate optimal cooking schedules based on ingredient weights.
Tip: Balance high-weight recipes with quick common recipes for continuous point generation.
